While there is always luck involved the more capable, provident farmers 
survived. Today, to extend the metaphor, half of the provident farmer's

You have a strange definition of usury.

Dante put usurers in the 7th circle of hell, along with blasphemers and 
those who sin against nature. That presumably would include the officials 
on the WNBA who aren't sure what a woman is.
