Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.

Usage

We used to have a "weather bear", a wall decoration that could be dressed in various outfits to match the actual weather, but now it's more than worst for wear.

One method of doing the song is to give individual children or small groups specific "weather cards" and then they sing that line as it appears in the song. Alternatively, all the children can sing the how's the weather line and the teacher can perform a kind of kamishibai with flash cards and sing the weather parts. Another possibility is to use the song as BGM to time other activities, particularly those involving writing.
