[lit-ideas] Re: TUESDAY'S FORCAST

Sorry, Veronica, I was just playing.  Darwin says there is no design, just 
random changes that confer evolutionary advantage and add up and here we are, 
together with sulfur eating bacteria designed to take advantage of the volcanic 
activity on the ocean floor, among all of God's other creations.  Grand design 
would impose some order on the randomness, an imposed order that Darwin would 
argue is not there.  Many others, even most others, obviously think there is a 
design.  But, maybe Mike needs to clarify his statement.

Mike:
"God has his reasons, I know,
I just wish that He would slow
down his retribution against mankind
for fucking up his grand design."
 
Veronica
 
"What grand design?"
 
My comment was in reference to the above lines in Mike's poem.  Nothing to do 
with car designs.  God's design is how I took it.  Clarification from Mike 
please.

The Grand Design was made by Chevrolet.  It was replaced by the Mini Mouse 
subcompact, which runs on bird seed.  They're running a contest for a marketing 
jingle.  I was thinking, See the U.S.A. in your Mini Mouse subcompact.  Well, 
yeah, it is kind of small.  See Rhode Island in your Mini Mouse subcompact.

I like the poem.  It made me laugh.  I hope you get more heat so you can get 
more work.
 
What grand design?

WEATHERING THE WEATHER
 
It's uncomfortably cool in Memphis,
Life has almost stopped.
The sun's turned suddenly gentle
and service call have dropped, 
business is down
way down,
way, way down.
No AC's are breaking under strain.
Can you feel my pain?
 
Our bodies struggle to maintain
ninety-eight point six degrees
when it's only eighty-five outside.
God has his reasons, I know,
I just wish that He would slow
down his retribution against mankind
for fucking up his grand design.
