Where's all the food?

Having lived in the middle of nowhere and having to drive through miles of farm land to get anywhere I say to hell with it. I want to dive to work and pass gas stations and wal-marts, housing additions and apartment projects. Why in the world do we need these tiny little 2-5 hundred acre farms taking up valuable real estate. They've already came up with a solution to the food problem, if we use the right combination of chemicals we can grow our food in more abundance in a smaller plot of land. Why else did we let these corporate farming operations buy up the independent farmer? The corporation can provide us with food cheaper than the farmer can and it isn't my fault these stupid farmers can't keep up with the times. Boo Hoo, I lost the farm my grand pappy bought back in the twenties from some other stupid farmer that couldn't hack it. This is 2008, get with the times!
I hope you all can understand sarcasm because the way the corporations and us as consumers have treated the ones that provide our food is f*ck*d!

Fireflys

Why do japanamation characters look like Caucasians? Aside from wondering this I thought the movie was very well done. I agree that it would have taken on a totally different feel if it were live action. I found it interesting that it was taken from the perspective of the Japanese. So many war movies of that time show the poor German and Polish Jews, the poor Hawaiians. Although the Japanese (government) did allot of horrific things as well did the Americans, many people tend to loose sight that not everyone in a particular country supports their governments decision. If you look at our relations today with other counties, it is evident that allot of people still think we are all at fault for our counties wrong doing. I myself always try to find the good in everyone.
