you are every bit as clueless as skinowski and I will bet it is also way above your pay grade too admit it..........let me be clear......
WY….. let me tell you… we’re all clueless. The purpose is not to be the wise man on the mountain who’s always right — it is to have a civilized conversation. And maybe, along the way, learn something, develop a better understanding.

IMHO, much - maybe most of the time - world political leaders are also clueless. They follow the party line, the consensus of power blocks… they’re clueless, but also dangerous - because they have real power.

I suspect, most of the time we here are not as clueless as the big and the mighty.

But, it’s also easier for us to be more real. We don’t have to make actual decisions.

Also, we may have the luxury - if we so chose - NOT to be vested in anything, to keep an open mind, play with ideas “theoretically”, without necessarily accepting them to any significant degree.

Want to see something that I accept unconditionally? This:

When I say that this is my definition of Victory - I mean it. Everything else I’m willing to look at from a dozen different points of views… without claiming any ultimate insight.
