Although I'll struggle with eating animals we've raised, let alone killing them.
Are you saying you'd find it easier to eat them alive?

But we should look back at the 1930s depression to get an idea of what could happen this time.
Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle? That was seven decaded ago, though. There is no reason to believe that we won't be a lot more stupid this time around.

Then again, I'm turning into a fan of quality over quantity. Personally, I'm quite happy with the two-disc edition I have of the 'final cut' of Blade Runner, whose sole special feature is a doozy.
Join me in my hatred of extra content and stupid filler, CraigI'm glad poor Orson died before they could get him to comment Citizen Kane on DVD (the guy ALWAYS needed money, he'd have done it). What's wrong with just watching the bloody film these days?
When they released that version of King Kong with swathes of extra content but without the film, I thought I could hear the cloppity-clop of the first harbinger of the apocalypse.
The problem is when the regional shortchanging extends to the proper content. I have a Marx Brothers set which comes a couple of films short compared to R1, and they tell you so on the box itself so you can seethe a little bit every time you pick it up. But then of course our box is more expensive, so it balances out I suppose.

It punctured certitude. I found that helpful.
It commanded attention. I was in need of that.
It demonstrated the elusive nature of an answer. I still believe this to be true.Spoken like a speechwriter. "It's a little thing called cadence", huh?

Because when a man holds a thing well-made...
How are you doing, Jolisa? I hadn't seen you for years.

some people I trust say this POTUS is the worst thing they've ever seen economically
See, that's just not going to work.

And if nobody buys our food, we can eat it ourselves, which sadly will not be the case for many countries.
Most New Zealanders aren't farmers, though. Do you reckon we're going to nationalise all the farms if the going gets tought?

Besides, we don't know how lucky we are, to live in this joint.
