I'm sorry. Mea culpa. My bad. I sincerely apologize...

Hi Gordon,

I agree with you, "the emperor's new clothes" is a good analogy!

I think everyone sees it, but most won't speak up out of fear or self-interest...

Certain people will figure out how to succeed no matter what... I believe that's guaranteed...

Thanks for sharing, Gordon!

Best wishes, Dien

One Katrina changed New Orleans for decades.

I am thankful for those who do not keep their heads down, who are trying to rebuild the levies to prevent another destructive hurricane from doing so much damage.

You know I have a long history of predicting this coming civil war, I think my crystal ball was a decade or so early...but now?

It may be a time to choose which side one wants to be on. I do not envy those folks with small children whose future may be fraught with tough choices.

Anyhow, I see a naked wannabee king. No amount of spin, smoke and mirrors and censorship can make me unsee it...and THAT nekkedness, AIN'T pretty to look at.
