"Corn"



In the original Waterlily blog, I've written about concerns from or about the "Corn Belt" of North America. And the concerns have been quite serious, in many ways! [Then there's the "corny humour" aspect of corn...! And it all goes towards "Finian's entertainment," if I may say so!?]

Here is the progress of some local corn fields, in these photos. [We're not officially part of the corn belt, as far as I know, but we have enough corn fields in this area!]

{By the way, I understand the Corn Belt, which runs roughly through the middle of North America, has represented some of the most conservative Christians? Although, I'm not sure exactly how many people from that area are directly involved in the gay rights project!? It has also been the critics of Christians in the Corn Belt who have brought up issues.--That's been my impression.}

There have been some movies/home videos and stories which told about corn and corn fields. They're called "Children of the Corn." The first story came out in the late 1970s, then a movie in the 1980s; and movies and TV shows continued throughout the 1990s and later, if I understand correctly? There are Bible names used in all the stories above; and the first movie, 1984, used a name which is significant in the Bible and which also relates to family life. [The name is the same--even if the spelling may be slightly different--as the last book of the Old Testament.] Some names are also Jewish--like Isaac and Sarah. Otherwise, these stories are in the "horror" category and come out around Halloween, especially. [It seems that last year, some people were getting confused by my blog around Halloween!?]

Some issues may need to be clarified, if they haven't been already--for farmers and others? Whenever one party got involved in film/TV storytelling, other parties followed; and there was a lot of confusion and prejudice! I believe we can sort the problems out. [Also, if some farmers supported the gay rights project, others were prejudiced against it--and maybe they had some reason to be!? But we'll work on it! (And some farmers were prejudiced just because they wanted to be prejudiced. Maybe others were concerned about how things were being done!?)]
