But sweetcorn keeps really well. It can sit in my fridge for a week and still tastes great. And we have very fast aeroplanes and a worldwide trade shipping system and lots of other gadgets.
In the superb documentary ?Baghdad ER? they are amazed by how an injured US soldier can get from an Iraqi roadside bombsite to a hospital in Germany in 10 hours.
Can we get a few corncobs to some starving kids? Nooooo, that?s a whole different issue.
There are things happening right now that make people like me think the world, specifically this ex-wonderful country, is going insane.
.....That reason has hitched its skirts and is scurrying for the border.
.....That all of the great philosophers, past and present and future, are screaming ?what the hell are you doing??
These things seem to have been creeping up slowly, painfully, in darkly dripping lies and disinformation and partial truths and wink-wink silence, corporate and guilty and disbelieving.
Shadowy. Subliminal. And so, so effective on the comfortable uninformed Fox/CNN/ABC/CBS -watching American sheeple.
But there's a guy sticking a corncob in his gas tank right there in front of you.
HELLO !
Click on this link and then think about that TV ad.
That?s all.
