. Zimbabwe and South Africa both are headed toward an agricultural crisis.


Yes, under the current regimes. Wouldn't be that way if the US were running things. Under the US, the farmers would be undone by agri-business. Much more civilized and less messy that way. <g>

"The farms are being seized and the farmers are being run off. Sometimes they even burn the farmhouse. It's baffling. Zimbabwe and South Africa both are headed toward an agricultural crisis.

Only because those poor people don't have McDonalds and Disney Land. A few strategically placed theme parks and you would see instant serenity all across Africa.

Calypso music would add oodles of serenity.

Rum and Coca-Cola The Andrews Sisters

If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, beat it man, beat it

Sice the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee Dollar

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

From Chicacharee to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down to Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer (sorry poet)
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in the hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down to Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

Rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
