A fair question

and as you know, Ray, I wasn't defending the company. My virtual loss of all but the shabbiest seeds of hope stems from the same source as your dismay and disgust; viz., the company. I have yet to be convinced that the company doesn't deliberately use people with loyal spirits to pump for it. Those who do however cannot necessarily be judged as having a deliberate intent to deceive or to achieve even their own personal gain at the expense of others. The most that anyone can say for certain, without knowing them, is that they certainly (out of well-meaning loyalty perhaps) have bought the company's deception and unwittingly promote it; believing it.

I don't know what Chief believes at this point. I know he still remains strong and long. But I know him well enough to know that he would never engage in deliberate deception of others nor would he really desire the hurt of another. I also know that if ITKG really has something but is having difficulty I don't understand bringing it to market, that nothing truly beneficial is gained by injuring it further or by constantly dogging it and the people loyal to it--attempting to help get it there.

Having said that, I in no manner want identification in this forum with any mean-spirited counter invective either; for anytime an ITKG supporter does this it generates suspicion that this is all that is left to him/her because the company can't produce anything. So the malicious counter-invective boomerangs: the very defense of the company actually works to undermine lingering hope that despite all impressions to the contrary the company really will prove to be credible and worthwhile.

All of this confusion fills the glaring vacuum of silence the company itself has created by the absence of real productivity and/or explanations; even plausible explanations for its silence or failure to produce it's implied promises. The bottom line then is that, for now and the last few years, the company has been its own worst enemy if it is, as many insist, for real. Like Humpty Dumpty, it seems to have fallen off the wall and although many have tried, "all of them, all the kings horses and men simply haven't what it takes to put it back together again".

The only redeeming thing that possibly could happen is that suddenly the shroud of silence covering its activities is drawn back and it is seen to be on the wall after all. That of course will take credible contract announcements, preceded perhaps by the harbinger of a signed supplier; for what supplier is going to ramp up for the envisioned amount of raw material if it isn't convinced that it will profit from what it costs to do so? This would confirm to the shareholder that Humpty never really had fallen off but was concealing its presence and activity so that longitudinal objectives for it and all its shareholders would not be compromised or forfeited. Yet, this hope has been deferred for so long that it remains a mere passing wish-dream. I suspect such announcements happening would be tantamount to winning the lottery in the mind of a great many of us. Personally I despair of such hope and won't allow myself to have it because if it proved vacuous the subsequent pain would be infuriating and anger is not beneficial to life; not even my own.

But good grief, Charley Brown, the fall of Humpty Dumpty ought to be devastating enough. There is nothing to be gained by the rest of the eggs smashing each other to bits. I'd like to think that, even if we lose greatly consequent to the risk we took (which this writer and his wife most certainly will do), we'd still strive to help each other traverse the carnage maintaining the highest possible human dignity; not letting a small-minded warehouse firm like ITKG (if that is what it proves to be) bring any of us to lose that as well.

Best to you my friend, and I mean that...you know I do.
