Reply #74: So, I heard about this from one of my partners

and I thought he was joking. I'm very confused. I'm also quite a bit saddened that my response to a governmental agent doing his job the way it's supposed to be done is extreme surprise.

Alas, I suffer from grave doubt that this will go anywhere, not because it doesn't have great potential but because I have disappointment fatigue. Fuck, this has been a long seven years, hasn't it? As an aside, I had someone tell me I had sour grapes about Washington because "my side" isn't in the oval office. Yeah, that is so it. :eyes: Time was, I would have blasted him or on a good day, tried to enlighten him. I just said, "Well, that was a short, but stupid conversation." and walked away.

Apparently, I suck at the long view. I liked your discussion about the long view. It makes sense, it just doesn't feel like my heart is in it right now.
