naming a revolution

Rose revolution, orange revolution, jasmin revolution..... and now lotus?? Why are they all named after flowers or vegetables? Can we please name the next one 'steak revolution'? I love steaks!

the more we produce, the poorer we get...

Each European Union cow gets $2.50 a day in subsidies, more than what a billion people (in poor countries) each have to live on every day. American cotton farmers receive more in subsidies than the entire GDP of Burkina Faso.

It weakens institutions, distorts markets, feeds corruption, exploits the poor, enriches the elitists, and only funnels more resources and money out of the continent.
