The Switch

Let's do the logical thing. Germany has hundreds of philosophers. We have six, including Gloria Steinem. We have thousands of unemployed haiku writers. Germany has four, tops.
Let's trade.
Frankly, the bottom has dropped out of the US haiku market with no relief in sight. Sonnets are hot now. Germans want more culture? We need deep thinking, complex ideas. Bartering has always been around. Let's go for it.
Follow the market. We'll toss in bamboo furniture. Teach them about open mikes. They can expose us to serious debates on the nature of reality and relative ethics.
Knockwurst is the middle ground here.
