Schorchland

We Greeks are proud of our achievements.
We invented Democracy. We invented Theatre.We invented the Parliament, which is a combination of the two.
For the unimformed ones who believe we haven't actually invented anything new for several millenia, i shall demonstrate today a mere fragment of our technological secrets:
First,we take something that exists in abundance in nature, like the wind.With minimal cost (a box of matches and an oiled rag),the wind can be made to carry fire at long distances in no time flat.
The fire labouriously clears all surrounding land of the annoying thingies known as "trees", which
Reagan fans will no doubt remember that are the main source of air polution.
Than, the real miracle happens.
Out of the schorched land, a house pops up.Then another. Then another.The State will take care of the fragile little houses, watering them and connecting them with electricity from which the light will come that will help their photosynthesis or whatever it is that makes them big, strong and stable.
A new community has emerged.
Beat THAT, "advanced" nations!
