Of course, when I say the F word, I'm talking about our drought. The word would be famine. It's not that I want to scare people, but countrywide, our farms appear to have taken an epic beat-down this summer. They're talking about prices rising, of course. But people, like our leadership, should take moves now to prevent starvation. With our economy already devastated, we could see real widespread hunger in this country for the first time in memory.
No, I don't wish to spread panic, but people shouldn't be afraid of fear, either. If fear is awful, fear of fear is far worse. It leads to the double negation known as denial.
Where are we going to get the grain to make up for the shortfall? Do any other nations have surpluses?
What about other crops? So far, we've been hearing about the effects on corn and soybean. I can't help but think the effect on vegetables and fruits is just as negative.
Plus, I have a question that cannot be answered: is next year going to be the same?
A disaster like a famine usually brings about change, whether it will be to the better or worse, nobody knows. People might finally accept anthropogenic Global Warming as a reality, and finally acknowledge that the liberals were right, again. Then again, they might just blame the famine on the acceptance of gay marriage. Guess which answer the oil companies are going to promote.
