Just the Way I Say It
Paid to keep a warning alive for ten thousand years. Forty years on, whose words is she saying?
Near Carlsbad, New Mexico, the government pays a dozen families to keep a spoken warning alive for ten thousand years, and a potash miner signs up his nine-year-old daughter for the money. Forty years later she is still saying it word for word, and it has never occurred to her to wonder whose words they are.
