It is not so common that we bump into a cover that is better than the original. I think this is one of them. Of course the original is excellent too, including the other 'One' by U2. :) Here they are. Enjoy it.

Butter Spreader

We didn't use a butter knife for our toast. My wife finally wanted to buy one, so we went shopping and bought one. Of course we didn't have many to choose from because this is a country where people usually eat rice rather than bread.

There are always flowery products thick on the ground but we hate the flowers printed on things. Flowers are printed on everything such as refrigerators, ovens, dining tables and even on computers here in this country so probably that was the main reason we chose not to have a butter knife.

We just had to make do with a small, cheap and nasty, fake wood, plastic handled butter spreader. But as expected, I couldn't stand it lying around the kitchen because it was so ugly. It was an absolute eyesore. In the end, I decided to change the plastic handle to wood. I could find the wooden handle very easily. My kids' toy blocks. And it turned out to be like this.


I may have messed it up but my wife likes it and I do too.

mass production of docile, standardized cogs for the system is impossible without the aid of education. this country is a huge factory and you work there.


yes, capitalism specializes in not only manufacturing products but also alleviating irreverent discrepancies. this kind of education is extremely effective where collective thinking is a norm and virtue, where unity is put first rather than diversity and where people vehemently worship money. im petrified this plausibly more efficient and desirable theory may be abused for the misleading system by chance or by design. the beneficiaries are bound to be the better off and/or in-power minorities again, of course not the working machines and their children who are 'educated' to be elated to live in a country like this and be grateful for whatever they get for their backbreaking work. 

will this new cream of the crop education be given to those who have little as well? if not, better education just makes their life a sheer misery in the end.
