Dear Michelin,
...The fact that we can bomb a country--any country--night and day, destroy neighborhoods, and drive
hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes, but not be intelligent enough to figure out a way to
get food, medicine, or even blankets to these same sick and starving refugees, speaks loudly to the world
as to what we think of them and what our true American values are.
But, of course, as President Bush said, this whole problem was caused by a "breakdown in our
intelligence."
Here's what two men from the real Intelligence Community once said:
"There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."
-- Musician Frank Zappa
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
-- Left-hander, Albert Einstein (1879-1955)]

Mireille Busby continues: "I'm searching for a video shown with Zappa's City of
Tiny Lights. It's an amazing plasticine animation. I haven't a clue how to track it down.
Thank you for any help you may give me."
JHR answers:
Sorry, angel, not exactly by that description. But are you sure you're not looking for "Baby Snakes," the Zappa claymation feature film? It has a segment containing the "City of Tiny Lights" track in it. You might try here:

Best wishes, kiddo. I like your style.
