Cake? Mona Lisa?

Thought this thread would be about the global hunger crisis as pointed out by a Jim Morris opinion piece today's Indianapolis Star. Morris, IMO, is a "Dick Lugar style Republican" more concerned about dealing with problems than playing politics.

Morris describes the problem in part by stating,

Today’s global hunger crisis threatens to push at least 47 million people in 81 countries to the edge of famine.

Selling the Mona Lisa to some rich guy and using the 100 million to help feed some of the millions facing starvation fits with my priorities. Think Morris might agree.

100 million? Maybe 10 times that, at least. With that being said, it will not be sold for any amount.

Are you prepared to have our food supply to be rationed to feed the other 81 Countries ? World Food Organization!

I take it that you (or the character that you are playing on here) is not exactly "pro life", but rather, "pro white life".
 
The claim that the character Lucy plays on this forum is racist is hardly baseless. It's like Caroll O'Connor playing Archie Bunker, but squared.
Fine. Call everybody you don’t like a racist. Fill the internet with hate. Lower the bar. Add “Nazi”to the mix, because diminishing the acts of real Nazis and real racists is a good thing. Normalize them for common conversation. Treat the old lady down the block like one. Who cares about reality.
 
There is only one poster (Mas) and one character that has been created by a poster (Lucy01) who I have ever referred to as being racist. Both the poster and the imaginary character deserve that label.

Morris knows more about the hunger problem than I do, and he suggests several solutions which don't include rationing food here in the U.S.

As to being "Pro American", pro American Republican Senator Richard Lugar was quoted by Morris as saying, "It is both a moral and a security imperative for the United States and other wealthy nations to address the root causes of hunger.”

But not at our expense. Lugar was worthless.

Why did Biden change the Quarter? I didn’t mention the other’s.

The most disappointing item in the Louvre.
Mrs. TMFT hung a Mona Lisa print above the toilet in our basement.

Every time I go in for #1 I can't stop thinking about all the times people have stood before her and said "I thought it would be bigger." And I feel her judging me.

CoH, have to admit my jealously as Jim Morris is someone anybody would be fortunate to have as a good friend.
jim received a nice award several years ago at an event held at the Conseco Fieldhouse. I was one of the speakers and told some stories about our days at IU which most of the Indianapolis crowd didn’t know about. Of course I held some back, you never know when ya need leverage. ;)
