You're right -- just because the path has always gone through the
quagmire doesn't mean one can't decide to build a causeway.

Still, right now I've a short-fuse against those (not you, mind, but it
gets sucked into that button panel) who fuss and rail at these things
like they're new problems.

[Was irrationally twigged out at a Father's day op-ed where the man
condemns modern fathers working long hours to make more. Yes, well,
clearly he's bought into the 50s fantasy family, and forgotten that,
still within human memory, "quality time with Dad" was seeding behind the
plow. Very few choose unnatural overtime -- and it tends NOT to be for
avarice, but to nominally keep afloat.  But then, details muddy up even
the most elegant of arguments....]

Anyway; don't misunderstand me, just because I don't see a crisis worth
rending my clothes over, doesn't mean I've become so cynical that I won't
pull out my mole whacker and wield it with Intent (I *like* that image,
btw).

But then, my news sources are filtering in with enough dischord to make
me suspect, while I'll never get the whole picture, I'm still a long way
from a single vision. [Modulo the fact that the most dischordant of the
notes are laced with Agenda.]
