America is once again poised to stumble into another revolution. Industrial Revolution be damned. JP Morgan, Big Steel, the Conveyor Belt? Damn them too. And Damn Willy Nelson while you're at it.
We need agriculture and we need it now! Bio-fuels may be the big buzz word, but the reality is countries that export the basic necessities of our diet are hoarding the supply for their own people.
The price of wheat, rice, grains and other staples that make up the food pyramid are through the roof. Perhaps if American farmers hadn't been encouraged to plow under their fields, then our plight wouldn't be so dire. Of course Willy Nelson, Neil Young and John Melloncamp may not have had such lengthy careers singing about the travails of our nations plow-men --- but damn it, $15.00 for a pizza pie because the price of flour has gone up?!?
Short-term solution? Capitalize on the crops America grows and grows really well. And fast. Of course that would be marijuana -- which trips us into the whole legalization thing -- which leads us back to Willy Nelson. That crazed old C&W star riding around the country in his jellybean fuled tour bus, wearing hemp jeans and warbling about something sad.
One consolation is we could all relax after huffing America's produce - which would help us forget we're slowly starving to death - which would be heightened by the munchies.
Skip it. Let's just make more Chia-pets. It's a different kind of grass -- but they are cute to look at. Even the Chia-Willy Nelson one.
