Huitres aux Petrole

Oysters love crude oil! It's true!



Actually, the thing I found most interesting (among several interesting things) about this oddity is the distinction between "business" and "industry" in the concluding statement.

I think that "business" has been bamboozled into thinking they are the same thing as "industry" and that it's "big government" that is the enemy. The enemy of small, local, human-scale socially beneficial businesses, of course, is "government" largely to the extent that it is under the thumb of "industry". Now that coffee and cheeseburgers, haircuts and oil changes are "industrial" processes it's easier to lose track of that.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
