From AMD "Too Much Rope":

"....the poor man sells his kidneys in some colonial bazaar"

compare to this

Considering, I think, AMD came out in the early 90's this is
interesting.

I always thought he was making some sort of metaphor for the selling
of oil by poor nations.

Does anyone know if this is an old practice dating back to that time
or is Waters the new Nostradamus?
