I had a similar illustration - only I think there were moose grazing in wheatfield, alongside the oh-so-happy, mixed-race, all-american family, who had harvested many fruits presumably without labour as they rode around on glossy thoroughbred stallions. All inclusive to the hilt.

yeah, I can see one could get a bit too much of the good life, I am suspicious of people who are happy 100% of the time and who wants to be idle and have everything they want? Even though some of us spend most of our life thinking that we do want that!!

I don't think you're packing the right gear to be the one behind during that particular operation... :hehe:

[pedant]They had a list of randomly selected words to chose from. The top word on the list was used next and stricken. The person choosing the words didn't know why they were needed, it was just a job to do. One lady was fired from this work for not choosing words randomly. It was years later that she found why she was fired.[/pedant]
I particularly approve of Operation Teapot.
Particularly if it coincides with Operation Pothead Pixies.

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
