Relatively speaking, when youre big its not something you can prevent. for example, you probably crush ants under your foot when you walk on grass without knowing about it. you cant always be aware of every effect your actions have. thats just part of the cycle of samsara

when we hold these satellites by grubby human hands they cannot break the surly bonds of earth

who cares if we must view greatness by living between its toes, that we are crushed by its stirrings?

it is our lot to rot beneath such magnificence, so that from it may fall a touch of manna, so tomorrow our children may rot anew

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
most of the smaller farmers in my area have sold their farms to bigger families who just get everything from sam's club monsanto. the families don't really know anything about farming because they haven't farmed in generations, they've just owned farms and driven bigger and bigger trucks. I don't care about monsanto as much as I do the idiot farmowners who hire shitheads to drive expensive rear end equipment on rural roads with the equipment too low, tearing chunks out every time the stupid poo poo bounces (and it always bounces because they never keep the tires properly inflated). if I visit my parents, it's either go 10-15 min out of the way or cause tons of wear and tear on my car. I guess in a roundabout way monsanto is responsible for this by making it easier for farmowners to spend 11.5 months of the year complaining about how hard it is to own a farm while the duggars/larry_the_cable_guys do all the work and cause tons of expensive infrastructural damage

sometimes a man needs an f450 to haul those big balls around

sure, why not, ambiance is everything. we can also give them wings and necks, heads, faces and beaks to deal with pests like crows and locusts

just no brain though, and we're kosh right?

*gets some jerkbag intern to make up an artist's rendering of a crop of tranquil fields of tall stalks terminating in chicken-cob-beef cutlet critters chilling and attacking the occasional fly that gets too close*

the coolest thing is the organic rf emitter/sensor organs that keep them from attacking one another, johnson here presented that little idea himself and it gave us a 5% growth on our gross, so he got kudos and the rights to a third child within the noble marriage pool, so hats off to johnson, we're all very jealous of johnson... hahaha, don't commute through the freefire zone without an entourage johnson, hahaha


now seriously, folks, we have to address this growing underclasses problem *overpronounces the p too hard into the microphone at the shareholders meeting and loses $400,000 over 20 years for that mistake)
