Y'know, I just realized the [obvious] subtext to the Johnny Appleseed
legend.  While the story tells of a fellow wandering around planting apple
orchards, I have a hunch the actual basis of the legend was primarily
planting seeds of another sort  --  only incidentally was he dropping
apple cores where they might take root.  In a similar twist of story
versus reality, our present foreign policy has us running around telling
everyone we're planting the fruits of a beautiful future, while in
actuality we're just fucking everyone in sight.

*ahem.*

Things to make you go hmmmm,
