NPR is a liberal hotbed

I wonder how many NPR types eat "organic" food (what a stupid term, btw; what the hell is "inorganic" food?) despite the fact that it requires 20-30 percent more land to grow, and habitat destruction (the same NPR types will claim) is a major factor in species extinction?

I can't answer your question, but I know they probably make pretty good salaries, and have plenty of time to try to make the rest of us feel guilty. I'll wager they consume a higher share of the world's resources than I do, bet none of them live in non-air-conditioned homes, heating bills in Minnesota are horrific, and they probably don't drive a 91 model little car like I do.

Just as an aside, I usually avoid the interstate, have for so many years (agoraphobia has gotten worse the last 15 years) now except for a couple inner city freeway-type routes you have to use now (and nobody around here calls them freeways) decided I would give it a go about 10:30 Friday night, about a 10-mile stretch of it, and man has the traffic gotten worse. It was scary, and I had to push to keep the minimum speed limit because I seldom have to drive very fast, somebody tailgated me so bad I had to speed up, and the semis were unfriggin real. They were coming nonstop in the westbound lane, not so many passing me in the easbound lane, and having to have my window open because my ac is broken, they made a whistling sound as they sped by which I don't remember hearing before. I was wondering how many of them were Mexican trucks and was also wondering if I would make it home.

I’ve asked the staff in stores that sell so called “organic” where I might find the “inorganic” section. Being high school kids they usually don’t know what I’m talking about. They are still trying to process “organic.”
