Great question. First as for the food delivery system, it's a valid point. Today my wife was eating some crackers and commented on how good they are. She read the side of the package and it said, "made by our artisan greek bakers". I said, "those crackers sure traveled a long ways to get to our table" and she said, "there's no way they were actually made in greece". Sure enough, they were a "Product of Greece". -Why the hell should we be buying greek crackers? I mean, they weren't that good. Why should I be eating a tomato in Michigan in January that was grown in Peru? WTF?

Anyways, to give a couple of answers to your question What do you think? What is the worst thing about now that we accept as common, everyday practice?

1. "Can you believe they didn't know how to prevent all cancers and that they used to irradiate the body to treat cancer?... even HEALTHY cells"?

2. "Can you believe they used to only have 2 parties and that money played a role in politics"?

3. "Can you believe that Hockey wasn't the most popular spot in the United States"?

4. "Can you believe that people were called "minorities" based on things such as sexual preference, skin color, and ethnicity?

5. "What was cash? Why didn't people just use their credit ring?" -That ones for you mk

6. "Intelligent design? WTF was that all about"

Panel, if any of these things come to pass... you'll hear about it on wait, wait don't tell me, the NPR news quiz.

;)

That was fun.
