" I yam strong to the finish, ‘cause I eats my spinach"
Popeye the sailor man.
In the recent contaminated spinach scare, some thought that the " terrists" had struck again. After a thorough investigation, they have been cleared. It is not necessary for them to attack our spinach because they hate our freedoms. We can do an adequate job ourselves. Good old yankee ingenuity. Yes we can raise our own cattle, feed them grain, encourage bad strains of E-coli, make them even worse with antibiotics and let their sewage run into the groundwater used for irrigation. Top it all off with an insane food distribution system that ensures widespread distribution throughout the homeland.
There are other ways we can hurt ourselves or make it easy for "terrists". Very, very little of our incoming ships are checked. Or trucks. Or planes, unless it’s for nail clippers or bottles of shampoo. Our chemical plants are not protected, but not to worry, the corporations are eternally vigilant.
Now that I think about it, we have met the enemy and he is us. Oooh Popeye, we needs ya now. Alas, poor Popeye, he ate the spinach but at least he never drank the kool-aid.
I don’t feel safe while the inmates are running the asylum.
Plant your own garden. Think. Vote. dd
