    Is that an Ashes Ashes reference?

    Also, I remember from one of the Moore documentaries (where to invade next?) seeing children in France be served nutritiuos and luxurious food and then being presented by Moore, or perhaps just form my own remembering that in the US, free food in public schools were basically processed garbage served in the same dehumanizing manner as prison food is.

    I got the impression from people visiting or whom have emigrated to the US who heard about this public school food, that they thought it was a joke. They didn't conceive of conservatives, who are national chauvanists, to express such contempt to children when they saw those Styrofoam trays serving peanut butter sandwhiches and tatertots. And charging students for the "pleasure."

    I know we blame our social systems for producing such misanthropic assholes but I can't help but wonder if these politicians are just a democratic reflection of a plurality of the country.
