Philomene Long.

"The world is insane on a level far deeper than it realizes. The rice
won't change things one way or the other." John Bennett

"If we could only get enough people to walk together -- but we won't."
Charles Bukowski in an early poem.

"If we could only get enough people to sit together --we won't, but it
doesn't much matter." Something Shunryu Suzuki might have said.

"If we could only get enough people to send in their rice, we could
open a Chinese restaurant ..."

John Bennett.
