I like the cartoon and agree with its message about mathematical analysis of the dynamics of marriage. Is there a similar cartoon (or message) for those who draw graphs about the economy?

That was *the* perfect response to the question which was asked. In fact, I've got a funny feeling that 90+% of the questions raised on the FRIAM list also have a ready answer somewhere in the xkcd archives.

I have two questions: (1) Has anyone created a workable mathematical model that would allow spouses to solve political issues by using brownie points? (2) If the brownie point problem is fundamentally unsolvable, is the same true of the use of money?
