Oferchrissake.  Monopoly has gotta be the most abused board game ever.  It 
was originally called "The Landlord's Game," and created by followers of Henry 
George.  What we now know as Monopoly was the first game in a set of a three--a 
didactic journey to transform property relations through the application of 
George's ideas.  The first game being an illustration of the problem, which 
explains why it seems to be such a good argument against private ownership and 
rents. Now, in logical progression, it's promoting militarism.  What a ripoff.
