The Future is a Thing of the Past

"Nostalgia is not remembering how things were.  Nostalgia is remembering how we thought things were going to be."  Slim Fairview

Everything from the 1964 World's Fair to the Politicians, the Pundits, and the Lifestyle Gurus and Spinmeisters, nothing has ever been much more than an infomercial. The League of Nations did nothing to prevent WWII.

Everything that the Government and NGOs have tried to make things better has made things worse. And now we have problems we didn't have until we had solutions for them.

"You can't stop the arrival of History. You can only delay it.  History is coming.  However, the longer we delay the arrival of History, the better our chances of survival."

"Within the Fruits of Our Democracy lie the Seeds of Our Destruction."

Case in Point:  "China will succeed if China does as we did and not as we say."

"We are the architects of our own destruction."

Best wishes,

Bob

You Interrogate Suspects: You Interview Witnesses

However, if you ask the question, then interrupt the answer, that is obstructive.

And "How do you know" is argumentative at best. A throwback to the Golden-Plated days of daytime talk show television

Some people ask questions seeking information.
Other people ask questions so they can interrupt, contradict, argue, & pretend they're right.

Witness the news style infotainment programmes. These, one step above those golden-plated days of daytime talk show television. The ones where people interrupt others and say, "please allow me to finish." And notice: the ones who say, "please let me finish," never do.

You give trivial complaints to rookies & interns. That is too obvious to anyone involved in serious issues. One successful bit of litigation arose from the fact that the first attorney I spoke to had worn a suit without a jacket and had a crease in his collar. I guessed that they treated the issue as trivial. But when they were served, the lawyers from two top law firms were engaged.

On "The Talk", Dr. Phil was asked "how can you tell if someone is lying. He said, because they will say, "To tell you the truth" or "to be completely honest...." But I disagree. That only means the person is irritated by the person who thinks he's going to get the answer he wants by repeating the question ad lunacy [sic]

How do you know when someone is lying?  
[Redacted] Strategy is not discoverable.

To emphasise, I will quote the most eloquent of all Presidential Orators: Lyndon B. Johnson, who said, "I ain't never learned nothing talking."

SVP: Yes? No? Agree? Disagree? And, Why? I would appreciate some feedback from professionals in the field. Thank you, S.

Sincerest regards,

PS. After a report to the "City Inspector" who documented
the incident, I received word of impending "repairs". That
however, was the modus operandi vis-a-vis a prior incident cited as part of their strategy. History repeats itself. Regards, Slim.
