[Peace-discuss] A sanguine view of what China expects to achieve

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Jerry Clower the great American philosopher noted that in the 70s
he was asked to pay a dollar and twenty-five cents for a slice of 
cantaloupe.
As a boy in Mississippi he had fed "landslide loads" of cantaloupes to 
the hogs
(just to get shed of so much cantaloupe) and he could have
sent vast amounts of cantaloupes to NYC if he had know it was
going for $1.25 a slice.
