I’m convinced that someone with the right information base and communication skills could compellingly frame every important inflection point in 20th century America as ultimately being about corn somehow.

Americans are, by majority, simply re-arranged corn. That is why we are special. It is why our destiny is among the cosmos. How we have been enabled like none other in our yearning for space. We were indoctrinated from birth. To spread the seed. To bring corn to the stars.
