Now there's a horse of a different color.Could you be an undercover cop and pull it off? Could you be an industrial spy and steal company secrets? Could you be a political spy and be a successful traitor?Do you ever pretend to be someone else in your current life? Either on the internet or when you go out and about? It is said that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Well that could be true of anywhere you are not known. You could pretend to be anyone you want and who would know that you're just very good at lying?There must lots of money to be made lying. A noble profession to some. Not so hot to others. Different strokes. Are liars most often found in politics because they are drawn to it like moths to a flame? All actors of necessity must be liars. Is that for all politicians too? less

A bazillion years ago. Makes sense doesn't it?But if the simpleminded nationalist populists extreme right-wing isolationists have their way there would be no foreign trade. Buy only what your country manufactures or do without. What could be simpler than that?Okey dokey. Which country would do best doing that? Why do you think so?

Or is it?Seems to me the prankster enjoys making the prankee look foolish. Why would that be pleasurable to the giver and the givee? I don't get it.I am not a fan of looking foolish nor of making others look foolish. I think that is foolish. What think thee and why?

Did you know that a bazillion electrical and electronic thingies DEPEND ON rare earths as among the components for then to be manufactured? Did you know that China has threatened to cut us off due to the sb prez tariffs ploy? Did you know that would deeply harm our security since everything we produce to insure our security is made with rare earths? So if China refuses to provide us with the rare earths we need for the bazillion things we manufacture what do you propose we do? Go to war with China? Stop the tariffs talk?Every day in every way scarier becomes the norm in the good old US of A. Hey hey hey! less

Ain't he sweet?
