Brad; I expect considerable volatility this week, maybe not as much
as last week but more than

As for you being less jaded than me then it comes to the news,
I'm not sure about that.
Re> I.E. they think nothing of exploiting people for profit but, in the name of competition, would think nothing of shooting a rival if they got too far out of line. In that way, I think we eventually get to the truth somehow.
They may undermine a rival in many ways, but it's not to give us
the truth. Their code if you can call it one , excludes exposing
one another for the scum bags they are, they are united on that

There were many books written on Lindbergh, some pro some anti,
one of the more sympathetic biographies that appeared to be
free of melodramictic revelations was sent to him.
He returned 76 typed pages listing the factual inaccuracies.
The author of the book had depended mostly on newspaper
sources.

In reading his personal Journals, no matter if one is anti,
or pro on him, they would be hard pressed to say he was
dishonest. The point I'm making is that we can't rely
on the news media for the important details about history.
Maybe such things as the day a war started, but never count
on them telling the truth about who fired the first shot,
or and even less why.
