Truth be told, as told before, what is unfolding is simply drama at its best, soaked in mystery, wrapped around consequence, and topped off with danger, to be enjoyed, as in entertained by and to take advantage of, patiently, over a considerable period, and then to be reminisced over, again, and once more. Delicious. You and I, as in we, may be making an error in assuming that CB cares one iota for justifications, or that she gives two hoots about what should or is likely to happen. Boo to us. CB may simply prefer to confront, here on BBR, there on Foreign Affairs, and everywhere else on a multitude of topics; and then confront some more in 3D space. May the Force be with her. Cooperatively searching for the truth by discerning same from a mass of facts might not interest her, as the act does not in fact interest most lawyers, perhaps because she believes, as most lawyers do, that she is already privy to the truth or maybe because she prefers to ignore the truth. Dangerous either way. I do not know where CB is coming from, and so I can only guess the whys, hows, and whereofs, just as I do not and cannot know where the market is leading us all, except to be suspicious that it will lull us into complacency, make us feel like geniuses, and then lob our heads off. Scrumptious. I had always figured that as long as I place my comments concerning my suspicions within the context of my actual position and latest moves, I should be in no danger of being guilty of misleading anyone who might chance to read my musings. Silly me. While my foolish discipline appears to be not enough for CB and her brand of honesty, I could be mistaken, but I feel that CB was in fact trying to stop me from writing on this thread altogether. Hilarious her. There appears to be plenty out there who are trying to not so much as write to discuss, but write to shutdown other’s thoughts. Shame. Real ruddy shame. But then, it is the season after all. Unhappily so. Chugs, Jay
