Sratfor: "Brazil's state-affiliated company Petrobras is Bolivia's largest exporter and has already announced new plans to end dependency on Bolivia for gas..."

The low classe in Bolivia revolted. President of low classe origin take the reins of power and start redistributivism.

You invest, I redistribute.

I love to see State-owned Petrobras being screwed by a foreign government that statize its assets!!!

TJ, you witnessed something a bit more than you observed:

<Paul froze in paralytic state, arms raised, and feet cemented to ground. Coconut flipped out and dialed 1.800.GET.ME.OUT

Paul ended up as Dino snack, and Panic is a Survival Trait

Terror is rational, and panic is a survival trait. Do not have to run fast. Just need to run faster than Paul.

You are correct. But incomplete. If you watch primates in conflicts, the women run to the back and the blokes, especially the young tough ones, run to the front. The old-geezer alpha male hangs back, supervising proceedings.

When the young red-blooded males have dealt with the threat, alpha male comes charging in to deal the coup de grace.

The females all survive, some of the red-blooded young males do too and so does the alpha male. The survivors all comfort each other with mating rituals. Pretty soon, the numbers of red-blooded young males have been made up again.

Although only in infancy, Paul and Coconut are demonstrating the ancient process in training. It's instinctive. Paul stands ground, even if only going to be a dino dinner and albeit scared witless. Coconut makes a screaming break for it.

I have noticed in myself over the decades the same instincts. Immediately there's some threat, I have taken positions to defeat the threat and protect the female and offspring. The females are already running for it. These don't need to be dino scale. Any tiny little threat will elicit the same process. Watch yourself and family and see who does what.

Maybe females should be in charge of sell orders and males in charge of buy orders. Males are too busy fighting the threat instead of running for it. Females will flee at the first hint of carnage. Or, on the other hand, maybe females will be too indifferent to the prospects of danger as they have a sense of being protected. Hmmm, there must be a coherent theory in their somewhere. Females vote left and males vote right, generally. Maybe that's a good start point.

Generally, you are right. Panic is excellent [contrary to popular and government myth]. Terror a sensible brain function. Pain really gets things moving. Those feeling no pain don't move their hand away from burning hot, waiting until they smell smoke then figure that something is happening.
