Travels with Charley 2


De JSF is er om de vrijheid te bewaken! Freedom. In Travels With Charley schrijft John Steinbeck: 'We have in the past been forced into reluctant change by weather, calamity, and plaque. Now the pressure comes from our biologic success as a species. We have overcome all enemies but ourselves.'  En hoe nu verder, nu bijna overal ter wereld de bijen uitsterven? 

Over zijn landgenoten schrijft Steinbeck in 1961: 'If this people has so atrophied its taste buds as to find tasteless food not only acceptable but desirable, what of the emotional fare so bland that it must be spiced with sex and sadism through the medium of the paperback? And if this is so, why are there no condiments save ketchup and mustard to enhance their food? We've listened to local radio alle across the country. And apart from a few reportings of football games, the mental fare has been as generalized, as packaged, and as undistinguished as the food.'
