Re: Excitement
I think, Tx, you have a majority of people on this site that have reluctantly come to the conclusion that they have been backing the wrong horse in this race. They keep beating it, but it won't make up any ground. Unfortunately, they have wagered too much on it, and don't want to accept the notion that it isn't going to pay off.
I recall the good old days, during the run up to this war in Iraq, where it was very lonely here to suggest that this war was wrong, and that it would result in an easy military victory followed by the peace from he!! and ultimate civil war.
Most everyone was very vocal telling me how foolish, unpatriotic etc (Fill in your own adjective) I was.
I keep waiting for the posts to come saying "By golly, PW, you were right and we all were wrong, and how could we have been misled so?"
I'm still waiting!
Those were better days for many, however, when you didn't have that pesky reality interfering with their idealogic vision of how the world should be.
