Folkies have a higher standard of ethics and as a result do not profit from insider trading such as the small Germantown MD drug testing company that today was offered a buy out by Roche Switzerland at $53.84 a share which was double what it was yesterday, or folkies will not knowingly profit from business ventures such as havesting white birch trees for free near the restricted Chernobyl plant in Russia and selling them to Fresh Foods as European White Birch fireplace logs at a dollar a pound, or folkies will not invest in Halliburton or Carlyle right before another Bush invasion. Nor will folkies engage in predatory lending scams and blow town.

Folkies tend to try to reap a meager profit from poverty, war and injustice since it is what they know best.
