This is certainly the most crackpot idea I've heard for some time.  Choice
is everything -if you have it, you desrve the highest rewards, if you do
not - yoyu are nothing but a beast of burden.  By that criterion, prisoners
who were worked to death in, say, Dora "Mittlewerke"  or Gulags did not
risk anything, or at least not as much as some think-tank or financier
schmuck playing video games on screen.  

Are you serious, or you just think we aren't?
