'The plan’
From ‘flowers in the streets’ in Iraq to
‘flower farms’ in Haiti, the PowerPoint dreams of social engineers shall never die. …
Hub Blog can’t make up my mind which is my favorite: “seaside promenades with bicycle paths” in downtown Port-au-Prince or “flower farms shuttling fresh-cut bouquets by cargo jet to Montreal, Miami and New York.” ... Hmmm. I'm torn.

Don’t fret.
