Lock R about I mean I don’t mean literally geographically this part of the world but topologically perhaps somewhere in England that looked like this oh way John Lock was lazing away his days with his Noble friend watching them fascinated by what the little peasants were doing the one in particular though somehow
Excelled in the phys generating a Dian with the nobility with lots of noble friends fusing and igniting fusion with a layer of peasantry partnership with the nobility the aristocracy without no about them I suppose leading World being engulfed the capitalist competition we still got a place like we just saw that
Is I don’t know yeah just smacks of that Fusion the farmer nobility The Peasant partnership with the aristocracy L are very very wealthy landowning peasants in the Proto capis Class that’s what it must have looked like little mini castles and all all these houses here well I guess that’s where all the present neighbors ended up living when he bought all the land to make his castle Okay it’s noon I’m just leaving Melbourne after a 45 minute break ah I reckon that’ll be 3 hours 3:00 but it’s time we get to the SS we didn’t sell single tomatoes and the Tomato they did have 225 boxs so got myself a meal deal poke Bowl some ice cream fo up
