Starts in a commune, ends in capitalism. A microcosm of our civilization.

Yeah, that was very surprising. We had that stuff growing up and it was in a few restaurants I worked in.

Weird religious group, invents a new kind of leg hold trap, lets women have autonomy (mostly), pioneers Edging, promotes eugenics, becomes the largest cutlery company in the u.s.
