“A “plastic soup” of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said.”

Swell…

Ling, a vagrant minstrel, insinuated himself into the household of a great and influential mandarin. One night, he made off with a thousand of gold yuan and a jade lion beyond price. This theft so unhinged his former employer that the old man’s hair turned snow white in one night, and for the remainder of his life he did little other than sit on the dusty floor of his chamber, listlessly plucking at his p’ip’a and chanting, ‘Was that not a most curious minstrel?’

That one always cracks me up…

Pro’s to no articifical preservatives and/or freezing of foods==decentralized food processing and sales. Great stimulus for local economies and jobs that cannot be outsourced. Healthier food. Really–the only downside is that there would be a decrease in variety and super large corporations would find it harder to compete against Mom and Pop outfits.

#21–best three dogs walk into a bar joke I have every heard. Not quite as funny as which is the smartest breed, but close.

Here’s one…

The Taco Bell Chihuahua, a Doberman and a Bulldog are in a bar having a drink when a great-looking female Collie comes up to them and says, “Whoever can impress me with a sentence containing liver and cheese, can have me.”

So the Doberman says, “I love liver and cheese.”
The Collie quickly replies, “That’s not good enough.”

The Bulldog says, “I hate liver and cheese.”
The Collie shakes her head and replies, “That’s not creative enough.”

Finally the Chihuahua says, “Liver alone . . . cheese mine.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Stop me now, my head hurts I’m laughing so hard!

Sorry, I’m just in that kinda mood today. Winter blues. Someone tell me a joke.

Imagine if the GOUSA “outlawed” food preservatives except for specialized products?

What would the result be?

Fun to think through the pro’s and con’s. But, small/local/distributed means of production can’t put together large political donations as can the large multi-national corporations===so forget all the pro’s==it will never happen.

That will never happen in more than a small percentage of any population, and our planet (or we) will succumb to the filth we increasingly produce and wallow in. If there ever was a creator, he made the most selfish, focked up, dumb-ass waste of gray matter species imaginable… in his own image no less. No wonder he got himself nailed to a cross.

Let’s throw in another change that might help. Let’s put a wattage limit on computers. Why use 800 watt power supplies? All to play a few games. Let’s limit power supplies to save energy, and let people play games outside.
