I have a pile of slate in my backyard 36" x 16" x 16'. Is it worth anything?

It could be worth a lot, but you should just give it away. Its value is of no meaning because

I have no problem with making an HONEST profit as opposed to what happens in fundamentalist "when is a diet pill worth $186. a bottle" capitalist America.

Well, the honest profit was probably made when you purchased it. You may have something special (I don't know) but it is more than likely that you have an opportunity to partially recover your costs. Would you deliver or do I need to come get it? I may actually live fairly close to Capitalism is Cancer.

I'm thoroughly confused by the responses here, but if you have slate it is probably worth something. I would place an ad on your local craigslist with photos and see if you have any takers.

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

It's a lot harder to walk the walk when your resources are given away instead of someone else's.

The slate should be redistributed to those who have fewer building materials than others. 98% of our nation's slate are held by 5% of the population.

Good idea. I'll give it to the socialist Habitat for Humanity.

In Capitalism is Cancer, you'll have to pay the socialist Habitat for Humanity to take it off your hands.

Nice try, but Habitat isn't socialist. Those capitalist pigs run restore shops where they resell construction materials and take advantage of the masses. The only a government ministry is pure enough to handle redistribution of slate resources.
