So sad but so true.

Jacob and Esau cut a deal over a bowl of soup.

We can be bought for less in too many cases.

Soup? Nope.

In today's world it may well be re-phrased as:

USA Selling it's Birthright to Halliburton for a Bowl of Oil


That's a good analogy considering the tortured logic engaged in by
those who believe either fable.
