   Can anyone make any sense out of this?  I asked a guy from Columbia about
   the imperialist American conspiracy to save coffee for democracy and he
   didn't know anything about it (He did laugh, though).  He mentioned that
   there is an effort to limit the population in some areas due to widespread
   hunger and poverty.  The citizens are behind it.  We sure are tricky,
   convincing those stupid Columbians we are doing them a favor when in fact
   we are just trying to save our coffee supply.  Coffee consumption is 
   rapidly decreasing in this country, but you never know when people are 
   going to demand coffee, and if they don't get the riots are bound to
   dwarf anything the Civil Rights Movement ever brought about.  Another
   thing:  Who is defending their home football team now, in the off season?
   Oh sure, I hear the occasional "wait 'till next year," but I don't think
   that counts.  And then he calls us all a "big boor."  Why does he think
   that we are a large peasant with clumsy manners?  That comment really
   throws me.  

   Quick, somebody throw this guy a few Valium and find him a place to 
   sleep for a while.  What ever you do, don't let him write code!  His
   facility for logical thought is malfunctioning.  Let him write manuals
   for a while instead. 

   Followups to net.politics, because it doesn't belong on net.columbia, and
   net.bizarre no longer exists.
