Bramble Tamble

For the first time since I met him almost three years ago, I felt like I'd really made a connection with Sandals. Typically, most conversations that I've had with him fall into the "10 minutes of my life I'll never get back" category.

But on this particular occasion, I learned a little bit about him. He emigrated from India to the United States some 30 years ago, and told me of his love for America. We both talked about how lucky we were to be living here, especially in light of the extreme poverty, hunger and destitution found in the Third World.

And then he talked about the need to grow natural resources and lost me completely.
