    Yawn

    Such wit, such nuance. So I guess we should sit in the dark (to stop global warming), keep the Chinese poor (so we can stop shopping at Wal-Mart) and of course sit around a campfire and sing Kum-ba-yah since we all know that if we are just nice enough to everyone, we can all be brothers. Yeah - we all can be in the moment too. Works both ways you know.

    How about another fantasy - like constructive suggestions instead of sophomore Prairie humor?
