From time to time a religious zealot will see the image of Jesus, the BVM, or Ganesh in a loaf of bread or a desiccated gourd. Word quickly passes, and soon there is a pilgrimage of zealots to see this holy item. They get all excited about it, but most people just keep on walking – and try to avoid eye contact.
Zealots of another variety see an ‘invisible hand’ in places where it could not possibly be present—in the banking, insurance, energy and pharmaceutical industries—places where the concentrated market power would crush any such hand beneath its steel boot. Still, the zealots gather to protect this holy industry from anything which would interfere with the workings of this phantom deity.
