While i was getting ready for school this morning, i was listening to the famous "Today" show (which by the way is much inferior to "Good Morning America") and there was a story about how there is a rice shortage overseas and that is increasing our price of rice here in the U.S. Now it doesn't matter that America doesn't have a shortage of rice, we export most of it, and oh yeah...people don't eat carbs here. The food shortage is really overseas, a REAL food shortage. That is disheartening to hear. But, we still will have to pay more for rice and it will be rationed to us at 4 bags per shopping trip. Sam's Club and GFC will arrest you if you buy 5, you hear me! That's not really my ranting.
The next story was how Hillary Clinton has raised 10 million dollars in the last two days for her campaign trail. Two days, and it was all raised on the internet by her campaign lackeys who don't care about people hungry overseas, because there is a 1 in 10 millionth chance she could be Democratic nominee for the U.S., who does not have a rice shortage but will be paying more for it anyway. Is there something wrong with this? Seriously.
It's the end of my semester. Can you tell? more to come...
And i'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...
