I was under the impression you were painting her face presently. . .

Is it ethically easier once you've left? Hell yes, but I fail to see how ethics applies to an already f'd up situation (created by you).

 

I fail to see why she would even talk to you once the power over situation changes. But that is up to Unkie to discuss.

At what point does the US public discover that they are a bunch of dupes?

 

You are correct in assuming that yes, the ethically easier situation also makes it less sexually interesting (as the power politics are removed). There again, if P_C did in fact deliver the goods properly, the chances of her calling back are increased. . . not guaranteed mind you, but increased.

That said, after reading The Associates, I'm truly of the author's belief that Americans LOVE being duped. We invite it. Ethics be damned; winning always justifies the means.

 

My guess is the P_C will get bored if it continues at all.

The only explanation I have is that being "duped" relieves oneself (somehow) of responsibility. As in I never saw the market going down one somebody 5 motnhs later figured out that the ML properties being held had devalued.

 

Close. My opinion is that "conventional American wisdom" dictates, prima facie, that God anoints the powerful with said power, the rich with their riches, and the poor with the poverty. We are simply to react per some individual prerogative that is governed by that same precept.

You're working under the assumption that the duped can follow the breadcrumbs.

 

Thank providence!

 

NEXT?!?!?!?!

 

Open ended question with no real answer: WTF should I do with my life?

 

In day-to-day practical terms, it would seem to me you're doing fine. If anything work/money wise, save more.

Existentially speaking, seek more beauty in everyday things. Go look at some art, then find the art in the mundane; take a gaze of the still life art in front of you. Focus less on eliminating noise, and more on making music (proverbially speaking).

 

UNKIE TRUNKIE!

Why did the corn fail to prosper in my garden this year? The tomatoes, green peppers, squash, broccolli and even pumpkins flourished, but the corn grew, started to produce, then checked the **** out.
