THE ALGORYTHM IS WRONG

For some reason Microsoft Start wants me to read about Columbia. Which I have absolutely no intention of doing. Not planning to go there, ever, and I have no interest whatsoever in reading about a place run by cartels. Same goes for Florida.

Ditto for most of Latin America, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.

And Dublin, and Glasgow, and London.
Plus Malmo.


Most of the world smells bad, eats too much, and talks funny.


If I actually wanted contact with savages determined to destroy civilization there are any number of places I could visit. My shots are up to date, and I'm sure I could find something edible with effort. The folklore show with colourful native dances is easily avoided, and not getting into political discussions with the natives is, at this point, automatic.

The welcoming committee and the local political opinions are totally in synch. To such an extent that someone from the United States is usually blamed for everything wrong in the world, the high price of penis gourds, killer bees, and witchcraft.
As well as bad sports and hamburgers.


So, to sum up: screw Columbia. It's a nasty place with rabid hippopotamuses.
Vulgar Miami make-up slags, and gun-toting illiterates.
A smelly suburb of Venezuela.
