Corinne, nicely said.
There was a time when I'd take up the cause and respond to those whose historical outlook outweighed all other considerations, up to and including the present day. They played - and continue to play the game of "yes, but..." which, incidentally can be found in Eric Burns book "Games People Play".
One perusal of such games will lead to a further understanding of what makes such gameplayers tick and lead to abandonment of taking up the cudgeols (?sp) and responding in kind. There is no winning, since we divert our energies into other areas of life, whereas they - the gameplayers - pretty much concentrate it into
their monolithic cause. Thus, I
ceded the warfare to those who continue to fight the good fight - more power to all of you and many thanks - and lean back. watching the passing parade, and await the days of celebration soon to be ours to experience in full measure. Whether it be weeks, months or years, time, I believe, is on our side - what with the
revelations which Rim's mgmt. has started to reveal to us. That some deny the existence of what Rim proclaims to be factual is emminently dismissable and not worth discussing, IMO. We have the shares, while they have their demons. But I do wish ALL the happiest of holidays.
