3. Lets try a couple of analogies --
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 03:39 AM by smalll
If you build a Potemkin village, why would you ever come back and say sorry, let me build you a real village right now?

Or lets say you're a husband with a wife who's been pleading forever for a fur coat. So you buy her a "fur coat" at the last minute --

As long as she's happy with it at first, why the hell would you ever come up to her with a real one? Why would you do that? Why would you say, "Sorry dear, that coat is actually rat fur and/or some kind of petroleum-based artificial fabric -- let me give you a REAL coat now!"

  - I don't agree with that. Did you hear Sen. Harking on Rachel's show tonight?  napi21   Dec-16-09 12:47 AM   #1 
  - Well that's somewhat re-assuring to hear from Harkin.  smalll   Dec-16-09 12:54 AM   #2
