You're going to die from starvation, most countries are banning food exports and the weather isn't helping. Keep your old, three-piece suits, cotton is hard to swallow. It's not looking good for most of the world this June 22nd, 2010, but that's nothing! By the end of this year, you may just find out what's coming for this decade:Global Starvation! And serve you right, you didn't give a shit up to now over the millions floating around the planet today,and you should reap what you sow. Take care!
