TMK, let's change your analogy a little. Instead of us "sitting on the shore", we're passengers on this ship. The captain has told us a year ago that we'd be safely on shore. Didn't make it. So he said, by June 30 we'll be safely ashore. Nope, didn't happen. Then he said by end of year we'll get there. Now he changes course again, and we're told it will be sometime next year. So here we are, still drifting aimlessly at sea with no signs of safe harbor in sight. All this time, we're wondering what the hell is going on, are we going to get drowned at sea? But good ole' Cap hasn't told us anything about what the problem is, has been, and isn't telling us how we'll make shore, whenever. In the meantime, we see members of the crew jumping ship, some maybe being pushed overboard, and others doing nothing to get us home safely. We've lost confidence in the captain and in his crew, and we're thinking this ship is sinking and all we hear is, don't worry, we'll get you there, in spite of repeated failures to do so before. So what would you do? Sit there quietly and say, gee, I hope he finally gets his sorry act together? What you're hearing from some of the other passengers, albeit probably too late, is we're going to mutiny because we don't want this ship to go down, and that's where we think this guy is taking it. Something scarily similar to this happen a week or so ago with a cruise ship. Guess what's happening now?.... lawsuits, and lots of them. Seems to me this is a more accurate analogy than the one you laid out. NightHawkZ
