"They" just talk bigly and sound so profound and lotsa folks get sucked in by them. And so it goes! :)

A quick certain death or one that causes you to linger on and linger on and linger on?

Why give them more than they already have? How is that helpful to the cause?

Different delivery. I guess having a good delivery system in place is priceless.

You smile cordially and ask if he needs some bags to carry away the haul. You thank him for the visit and tell him you look forward to his next visit and let him know you are counting the days until you can see him again assuring him that you will have plenty of bags on hand for him to use for his next haul. Preposterous? Or not at all?

But it does make it harder to participate in anything when the ground keeps shifting and the lines keep moving and the reward/punishment is unknown. Yet people keep playing. Are they very brave?

What's the magic line or set of circumstances that confers "special" on someone and gives him/her carte blanche while others not so fortunate are given no leeway at all? Is there a guide to that? Who's OK and who isn't? What's OK and what isn't? Who sez so and who doesn't?

Would you hang in under those circumstances for the good of your country? For how long?

Especially if it were a meeting with an "adversary" although I cannot remember ever being in such a meeting. But in governments everywhere there are probably countless meetings with adversaries. The more notes taken the better. And then you distribute memos of what occurred to other interested parties. No secret stuff. Secret stuff means you have something to hide. Secret stuff going on with an adversary that is unknown to your own side is very suspicious. less

Genius is more intelligent than us regular folks and therefore more capable of being kind. What do you say and why?

Thousands of years there was no electricity and people managed to survive. Could we suvive again? People would die of course. Those on life support that requires electricity. I just wonder how much damage would occur initially until we figured out a way to survive it. I'm old enough to remember ice boxes and fan. No refrigerator. No air conditioning. It's better now. Maybe we'll find out how tough we are. I hope not but ya never know! :) less

If the internet goes down and stays down for days what would be affected? Would the damage be permanent or fixable? If a power grid does down how do we operate without electricity or power? I wonder if "the enemy" is currently working on it.

That way they will have access to all our secret stuff first hand. SIGH. Another thing to worry about. Do you?
