Dung Dung!

I read this news item and first guffawed and then felt glee and pride :) https://www.slashgear.com/us-customs-asks-travelers-to-stop-putting-cow-dung-in-baggage-11672415/

In this day and age, a person privileged enough to travel internationally transported “holy shit” to the US — the land of fake news, capitol riots, gun rights enthusiasts, gay wedding cake refusers, Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. While I am grateful to be a citizen of the USA and firmly believe foot and mouth disease should be prevented, I can only giggle in insane glee at the rich irony of cow dung against covid brought to a country of vehement vaccination hesitation and anti vaxxers by a suitcase owner who is probably merely 6 degrees of separation from Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadela — who themselves are probably two generations from cow dung patters. I feel triumphant for both my countries in this excellent debacle of diversity :) In a country where every race and identity fights daily for respect and representation, lets party on … till the cows come home … er …. NO not to be killed for allegedly tasty beef that is far too flatulent for the atmosphere …. Oh please please … will everyone eschew cows … and their dung? I hope the following catchy phrases get caught — “Dung Do Matter” (patty makers and carriers), “Dung Lives Don’t Matter” (the beef bon-vivant) and “Dung Lives Matter” (veges and bovine benefactors) :)
