"We are witnessing the demise of a unique demographic, the delta-dwelling aborigines." Said the famous scientist Dr. Walker. " And they've never had a high population density, but they have always needed a particular land form to be able to make the delectable food that outsiders have come to love. The process for making this food is very deliberate and quite demanding. It includes delayering the soil several layers to a certain depth, the planting of a delicate seed, and then a prolonged delay before harvest.""Several delegates who have recently visited the aborigines were delighted to be able to study the process. They had a delightful time with the aborigines. But while they were there they saw that yet another area of the delta was demolished. They tried to denounce this activity, but the company clearing the land denoted them as radical environmentalists who don't care about real jobs!"
