Do you like money?
I prefer different smells, although there's something so poignant about fresh crisps, reeking of the rollers, edges uncut; no wonder even the classiest junkies prefer their snuff with financial reminders. The only thing possibly superior to banknotes is, naturally, democracy.
Have you heard about the state of Israel? It's not quite new, nor republican, and it could be so much more, someday.
