Hootsbuddy's Place

I would rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist who proves to be right. The former sometimes wins, but never the latter.

"...quagmire" Oops! Hey, I didn't say it -- HE did...



Said it before.
I'll say it again...
Res ipsa loquitur.

The US decision makers all around saying they can't withdraw, there will be chaos, etc. are quite right, except... there is going to be chaos regardless.

About Me

My photo
Hoots
Hootsbuddy's Place is a playground of eclectic interests (see blogroll) and a critical habit of mind. Traffic here is mainly from search referrals. This link leads to two previous profiles of the blog host. Readers should be familiar with the Overton Window. Briefly, ideas can be organized in a continuum of public acceptance along these steps: Unthinkable, Radical, Acceptable, Sensible, Popular, and Policy. Hootsbuddy's Place is more apt to be at the Unthinkable end of the list than the Policy end. Links to high-traffic sites are minimal except for credibility because I tend to be a bottom-feeder. I can be reached privately via Hootsbuddy (at) G-mail (dot) com. Make yourself comfortble and enjoy your visit.
