Starling @ 94,

Looks like you’re living an interesting life (hopefully “interesting” in the positive sense and not in the Chinese sense). I met my bride while I was in Germany. Fortunately she was South African and not German. There is much to be said for an international marriage.

“9/11 and the economic collapse of 2008 were instances where reality intruded. All the illusions and stories were destroyed in an unexpected event, unexpected only by those who bought into the illusions and stories.”

Idiots still have their eyes closed and are clapping their hands while repeating “I do believe in fairies, I do, I do”. Obama’s election was a symptom of this.
