Anti-tobbaco's only success: putting an end to ashtray manufacturing

Recently a woman was telling me about a better time in America when she would travel, and along the roadside people would sell fruit and vegetables on the honor system. They would set up a table with a money box and each person would pay for what they took. I realized that I too remember that place in America. I recalled a house at the far East end of Hemet that did that up until the 1990's. I also recalled two places that sold well water on the honor system one here in Homeland the other was South of Hemet.

I'm still hearing people talk about Hemet, a city that is dying. I continually see well fed poverty. Con artist panhandlers. Consumers with quick tempers. I see impatience that has been fully cultivated from devouring empowerment books and videos. I see self-righteous hardworking people that don't give a crap about anyone but themselves. They will run you over and back-up and do it again because they've got full coverage insurance. Is Hemet dying, or is a new Hemet emerging to reflect inhabitants that have yet to realize freedom?

We may need a flower translator. This crime scene isn't self explanatory, but why why would anyone do this? A beserker rage over a thorn pricked finger? Passion and violence, a flower with it's heart ripped out. Wanting this to be about something profound, bored and simple minds, longing for escape in the warm flush of nauseation.
