Beats me, Mr. B. When they come to your company and your neighborhood, let me know if it was a stretch. Whatever excuse or jargon they use will be sufficient, i suppose.

One man's stretch is another man's caution, they say.

"Then they came for the Jews, and i didn't speak up because i wasn't a Jew..." When they came for GM, i didn't speak up because i was working for FORD?

Read Prairie Fire and let me know if the new Holy Roman Emperor of Asia, Europe and the Americas is following the script and forecast written by Ayres.

Oh yes, by the way, look at the bended knee to the King of Saudi Arabia... Sort of King to King? Isn't that a bigger stretch?

How could such a genius geo-politician make such an un-American faux-pas?

Say, wasn't it General George Washington that refused to be made King, saying something like, "we just fought a war in which many many good men gave their lives to rid us of one king, should we just swap one for another?"

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” Lincoln, of course. But, were the people given the real facts?

As President Lincoln said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

Seems to me, the test is under way and many things are already visible...
