where I come from there's a saying along the lines "dogs bark, caravan keeps going"; pretty much describes what the government has been doing since 9/11, no oversight, no control, lots of interest groups, no feedback circuits, nothing, .....; "dog bark, caravan keeps going". Sometimes it feels like unless one is dirty enough for the liking of the ones in power one can not get into power, ....; corruption scandals everywhere, billions of "overseas parked profits", budget deficits, economy is haywire, the top 1% pays percent wise less taxes than the average Joe, etc, etc, etc.
Dogs Bark, Caravan keeps going, ....
Going to have a look at the tank - should make me feel better, ..., especially considering some of those frags I got from you started growing.
