Cell phones and other ideas

Talking on your cell phone while driving, even hands free, makes you four times more likely to have a accident.

General Motors is abounding the Saturn brand. 

In 1974 Henry Kissinger who was then Secretary of State at the First World Conference in Rome said “No child would go to bed hungry within 10 years.” He was basing this upon hoped for world trade agreements that never developed.

Thirty five years latter at the United Nations Food Summit in Rome it was reported that one billion people will go to bed hungry. I wonder where the grain went?

This reminded me of a book that Barbara’s mother had when she was a girl that declared something similar. “World hunger will no longer exist now that the price of a sack of grain has reached ten cents a  bag. His theory was now everyone could have a  bowl of cooked cereal and a loaf of bread. That was enough for anybody.
