Whitley Strieber’s Unknown Country reports about a very disturbing “huge floating reef made up of millions of disposed condoms … discovered in the mid Pacific.” I wonder if its true.

Well thanks Nathan, for exposing the bullshit.
No prob. It was just *too* weird, and played just a bit *too* much into the kind of “aha!” ness that societal naysayers so greatly enjoy.
Speaking of that kind of “aha!” I heard a similar critique of that Michael Moore movie — the one about the automotive plant that shut down. Moore’s thesis was, true to form, that the evil corperation simply didn’t care about its people and so it shut down, depriving them of their livlihoods. Wouldn’t it make more sense to believe that the corperation, evil or otherwise, shut down because it wasn’t making money? The ability to profit is an unfortunate prequisite to a company’s ability to “care” for its people.
I love societal naysaying, but I don’t love that “aha”. Its cheap thinking.
