@matigo I wonder if rice has a lot of chemicals sprayed on it, like other crops.
@matigo No, that would be two states down the coast from @phoneboy ☺

@matigo Humans may not thrive in ‘an Eden’ but I have to confess I do sometimes imagine life in Arcadia or Cockayne or whatever. It’s just a nice fantasy.
@matigo I don’t know. It was little more than a passing comment in a documentary. But I’ll tell you where I’m coming from and why it piqued my interest. I’ve had it up to here with the ‘all you need is love’ mantra spouted out by reconstructed vicars. They say love is all, our destiny is love, if we all learn to love each other everything will be great. It makes me feel like being sick sometimes and I’m a relatively sentimental person on the quiet. It’s getting very boring and it’s nonsense. I feel the same about the other side when they say the free market will solve everything or if you give people full individual freedom without rules they will automatically find a way of functioning successfully. That’s nonsense too. {The right is colonised and irrelevant though; the left isn’t}. So when I hear ‘God is fate’ I’m not sure what I think about it but it’s a refreshing change from ‘God is John Lennon’.
