Ukraine and Corn Colour

-


The sweetest corn is orange like the sun. Come to think of it, I don’t know its true color because I never stare at the sun. I’m not a billionaire. I will not damage my original eyes because I cannot afford to buy convincing new ones.

What is the connection between corn colour and Russia’s presence in Ukraine? Because we take sides on the issue despite the fact that we don’t know what is under tight corn leaves. Government determines the corn colour we eat: organic orange corn from the farmer’s field, or pale yellow corn from a heat-controlled indoor farm.

It is difficult to take sides on Ukraine because our governments filter the truth. They do it against our will most of the time because they are forced to follow America, the pied piper, or should we say the paying piper? America decides which country lives or die. We suspected it for a long time, until Afghanistan.

Afghanistan defeated America, the foreign policy sponsor. That is why U.S. President Joe Biden decided to pull out. Canada and all NATO countries followed the paying piper but two corn color was involved. Ordinary citizens were given the pale yellow corn color as the reason for withdrawal.

Inner circle government officials like foreign ministers, got the yellow version, which is religion and landscape. America failed to infiltrate a country built on religion and locals’ knowledge of land, outsiders are not aware of.

Governments will always have secrets. That is why there is different corn colour but, citizens must be given the real truth, the yellow corn version of the truth if they are expected to die in foreign countries, for politicians in business suits.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
