Will Work for Food




In Philadelphia,Pennsylvania,USA (the location for the Cold Case TV series)my hobo
clown detective investigation found evidence of the existence of an economy amongst predators that will work for food.The investigative trail began twenty-five miles away from the Gary Heidnik torture/murder chamber and 30 miles from the house in which Edgar Allen Poe lived. A few miles from there was the flooded out basement row house that spawned the urban legend of 'The Turtle Lady'.Passing school children would run past the house in fear of being snatched into the dark watery basement and led to a spooky demise.

Why did I decide to look into the matter of economics and predators? Well,
strangely enough,the upcoming Halloween season,the sputtering US economy and the growing wall street protests evoked the question of whether there is a free economic lesson to be learned from those predators who work for food? In Philadelphia, in October there is an annual explosion of spider webs on any conceivable surface.So, the spider became the focus of my query.

What I found was that spiders have an ancient history as ' construction engineers who have mastered the use of methods and materials'. Who taught them how to
construct ? Are all their skills innate ? The answers to this these questions are beyond the scope of this investigation.What I did learn, was that spiders
became master predatory food gatherers for their own survival and the survival of mankind.An actual 'creepy,crawly, spidery economy of sorts' does exists and can be mimicked by mankind .A very detailed breakdown of such findings can be found at
