"And I can't get it out of my head..."

Last night on PBS I saw what Haitians are subsisting on. Mix a bit of road dirt with butter and water, let it harden in the sun, eh voila'! That's dinner. Absolutely no nutritional value, but apparently this stuff makes you feel somewhat full. Gotta keep the kids full so they don't realize how screwed up this is. :(

I can't get it out of my head...

a direct consequence of the never-ending run of the corpo-communi-faci neocon agenda

and to think that it's just the beginning of that "consequence" :cry:

4. And people here panic at the first sign of rising prices and buy out the bulk rice inventories

That is indeed pretty fucked up.

6. And that is in our own backyard...

It's a disgrace that our government isn't involved in feeding these starving people rather than spending trillions on the people with all the oil.

7. I think there are hungry people in Iraq, too, but this was heartwrenching.

WTF are we doing or not doing, and why? This is not the US I grew up with. :(

8. what are fruit and vegetables but dirt, water, and sunlight, after all!

actually you'd be surprised and the nutrient content of good dirt.



besides, we need our farms for ethanol production, you know.

9. Sarcasm doesn't even explain this. nt

10. Another country Bush liberated
