Heh... I hear that quote (using "I" and "me" instead of "you") frequently.
It's programmed into a game called "Sid Meier's Civilization IV". When your
civilization finishes researching communism, Leonard Nimoy's voice is heard
declaiming that quote.

I'm glade you like the sig. I think it sums up our condition quite well.
Sorry, I don't play games much. I've never heard of this game. Maybe the
Archbishop played it.
Does anyone find the observation in error?

There seems to be a lot of lobbying for crops that use petroleum
fertilizers, but none for green manure and/or crop rotation. Why would
that be?
