(The creation of a Department of Peace is number nine! Kucinich's dream may yet become a reality.)
In other news, this is the subsidized corn rant from a long long time ago in a state far far away. (I wrote it on my sister's myspace page while I was in Arizona about two and a half years ago.) If it is already here somewhere I am sorry I could not find it and that this is a repeat. But TV always shows re-runs, so my blog can show one too certainly!!
My name is Christin. My sister, Calla, hates subsidized corn
"The government subsidizes corn. . . and only corn. That is why this nation is fat. Everything has corn in it. Corn syrup, corn meal, etc. Livestock is fed with corn. Everything made with corn (meat included) is cheaper than things made without corn. But everything made with high-fructose corn syrup and all the fatty hamburgers are bad bad bad for you!!! Many people cannot afford to buy a five dollar salad from McDonald's, but they can buy that double cheeseburgers for a buck. Our nation is fat because it is much cheaper to be fat than to be healthy.
Corn pollutes our environment. Well, no not corn in and of itself. But the price of raising livestock on corn and shipping that livestock all over the country in fuel guzzling trucks is about the cheapest way a livestock farmer can make a living. When you eat food it gives you energy, but the amount of energy provided by every cow made into beef is no where near the amount of energy taken from the earth to raise that cow. Far less people would raise cows for meat for a living if the government would stop subsidizing the corn the cows eat.
On Wednesday July 27 2005 Economist Joseph Stiglitz appeared on Lou Dobbs and made the claim that poverty is up in Mexico because the farmers cannot compete with our subsidized corn. I don't know much else about that argument but it sounds like a good one.
Subsidized corn is a devil!!! BOYCOTT!! But it will take you hours at the grocery store i'm sure to read all the lables and you will not be able to buy the majority of the food you like. Boycott anyway."
THINGS I RECENTLY DISCOVERED I HATE: (Calla talks a lot too. . . the beginning of the end of my own myspace)
1) subsidized corn
2) people that use God as an excuse to hate
3) organized religion
4) what the majority of this nation has turned God into
5) the contraversy of the Da Vinci Code. FICTION! (my sister, Calla, thinks this proves the stupidity of the nation. . . but that is a whole nother rant)
6) ILLEGAL immigration
7) the fact that the U.S. has no official language (my sister, Calla, thinks it's stupid that the government doesn't like our national anthem sung in any language except English but English isn't our official language. . . so that's dumb.)
8) people that come to this country and won't learn English (my sister, Calla, thinks i'm ignorant)
9) ignorant people, especially ignorant people in their cars on the same road as me
10) the war in Iraq
11) America is more worried about aid to foriegn countries than our starving children in AMERICA! (my sister, Calla, hates that we call our country America when it is actually the United States of America and not America in and of itself. . . though it is on NORTH America, are Canada and Mexico are also. . . not to mention all the countries on South America. . . ) we should all move to Canada
12) abortion that is forced or used as birth control. (my sister, Calla, hates abortion. . . it would take a really long time to explain why. . . longer than the subsidized corn thing. basically, she thinks it is ALWAYS used as an excuse to cover up other problems. our country doesn't have to deal with rape or domestic violence or incest or educating people or poverty or bad maternity leave laws or lack of housing for pregnant and mothering college students or shitty adoption laws or dead beat fathers etc because we have abortion. she is a psycho about this one, really, and she thinks pro-choice feminists are also the devil. Go to http://www.feministsforlife.org because it is her favorite organization in the world. They work to REDUCE the number of abortions by getting at the root of problems. George W. Bush and his fricken abstinence only plan is INCREASING the number of abortions because Bush is also the devil and he refuses to educate children on the uses of condoms. ok cool. . . that was pretty long too. . . let's NOT move to Canada because they like abortion even more than we do.)
13) domestic violence and how ignored it goes and how most people blame it on the woman. (my sister, Calla, says AMEN!)
14) so many women and children live in the ghetto while the "daddies" drive around in their pimped out range rovers. ("how can you force that woman raising her children in the ghetto to have another child. You have to let her have an abortion." "How can you force that woman to raise her children in the ghetto moron!" ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!)
15) that Calla has taken over my myspace. . . it is as if it was a Callaspace. . . she even typed that!
REMEMBER! THESE ARE ALL THINGS I HAVE recently DISCOVERED I HATE. (Calla hates that in caps lock there was no way to emphasize recently)
That is more than the corn part. That is the whole thing I typed while my wonderful sister was telling me half of what to type. Probably not the whole thing would be a re-run even if the corn thing is. I did not just re-read it, so I don't know what it says, but I hope it was good!!
Also, you should do your best to remember that that thing is so so old so those things are no longer things my sister recently discovered she hates. I don't know if she even hates them all anymore. I didn't read it. I just copied and pasted and trusted my former self and my sister's former self to not frak the whole thing up.
Did you see King Korn? I saw it in the movie theater like a year a go. My boyfriend and I bought popcorn on purpose to be ironic. hehehe
Love,
you know WHO-OO

P.S. I had a vague recollection that Lou Dobbs was mentioned in the myspace note, so I just skimmed it post publication and this is an edit to say he annoys me. . . so I am tagging this note as such. Also, there is a bit about abortion in there.
