I don't know. I've never been terribly impressed with Will (aka, Alfalfa with a Thesaurus). He's not a clear thinker, and unclear thinkers tend to utter unclear thoughts. Was it a slip of the tongue for which his Corporatist (I try never to use "capitalism" to describe our current economic program) masters will punish him? Or is he just another Sunday morning goon trying to hump his next book? Who knows.

I'm not quite as conpiratorially minded as you are, BelleDame. I don't think anyone (or anyone serious at least) has developed a 5 Year Plan around building Camp Rhinos in various desertified countries. If anything, his remark betrays the common mindset, the "breathing together" con-spiracy that, I believe, Askel5 has referred to. There is nothing under the sun that ISN'T a government program to these people.

I'm not a conspiracy fan either. The "Banana Peel Theory of History" appeals to me more. The more planning Our Betters inflict upon us--the more banana peels mysteriously appear in the road.

I'm just beginning to spy a pattern in the slip-ups--that's all. Maybe particular brands of bananas cause certain predictable contortions as the body goes down. Or maybe it varies from bunch to bunch. I'll have to work on that.......
