While a valid aspect of organic farming, you miss one of the key reasons many choose to go organic - food quality.

While it's possible using "conventional" farming methods to get a lot of yield, what is the nutritional value of the yield - what about the flavor?

Try this when you have some time - get some tomatos from your local grocery store - then get some from a local organic grower. My personal experience is that the grocery store tomatos remind me of eating water balloons while organic tomatos are an explosion of flavor. I haven't done the research to prove this, but I would be willing to believe that the nutritional value of the store bought tomatos is very low when compared to organically grown tomatos.

I don't buy tomatos from the store - 10 plants in my garden supply all that I need and more.

That's a problem though. If the brake is the throttle override, then what is the brake override?

The obvious solution is to have 2 throttles, and 2 brake pedals. So you can have a brake override throttle, and a brake override throttle override brake.... Maybe they could put them on the passengers side. While they're at it, they may as well include a steering override on the passengers side too. Throw in some turn-signal overrides, wiper overrides, headlight overrides, hazard overrides.....

And just so we can throw another beauracracy into the mix - the whole system can be certified by the FAA.

Once, in an interview, I went through a marathon process of several managers and supervisors.

My last interview was with Ana (...sigh...) - quite possibly the hottest woman I've ever known - if not ever seen. The interview went normally (for me - blatant truth has always been the best course of action for me) - and when it was apparently over I was asked "Do you have any questions for me?"

Perhaps that was the wrong question to ask a person who had only recently got over the agony that is divorce. I answered with the most pressing question on my mind - "Would you like to go out to dinner?"

Unfortunately, she wasn't wearing her wedding ring that day, or I wouldn't have asked (really, that's just tacky). After a very hot blush, she explained her marital status and I became a little embarrassed. She said she was flattered...

That job was great for a little over a year until the company moved to Korea and I moved to Texas. Ana's assistant Christina was quite possibly the second hottest women I've ever known - or seen. The scenery was incredible!

Oh, I get it!! "The BEACH goes on", huh, SONNY??
