Yes, they've admitted it verbally so that means that at some point it had to flit through their *heads* that the system didn't work but they haven't said it in their *hearts*.<br /><br />This is their problem. They still love the old system. They've been dumped and they don't quite know how to communicate with other girls yet. Especially hippy, petouli wearing girls. Their ex-girlfriend never would've approved. She made fun of those girls. So, what do they do? They try to convince everyone to help them win the ex-girlfriend back. And, everyone's been there, or is currently dating her, so they are easily persuaded or have stories about how great it is.<br /><br />The thing is that deep down they know that ex-girlfriend was really a bitch and that hippy girl is in it for the long haul. But switching all the stuff around takes so much effort while in embarrassed denial. Ironically, maybe as much effort as throwing giant conferences, dealing with protestors, and making rhetorical, pontifications...but it still lets them think about ex-girlfriend.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266429840423488352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263297718339142335.post-74971966122907326892009-12-18T15:00:01.928-05:002009-12-18T15:00:01.928-05:00"Alright so. Here's the deal, guys. Our e..."Alright so. Here's the deal, guys. Our economy is in the tank right now. We can probably force it back up to a decent level, but it should also be noted that we don't actually produce any goods, we are falling behind in the production of technology and our banking and investment industry, the one thing other countries were still coming to us for, was just shown to be full of shit. Now, we have an out-of-work industrial labor force, and still enough capital and technological superiority to become the world leader in producing all that 'green' technology the world is clamoring for. And the best part is that it is exactly what the people want. We've even been given billions of dollars that we could use to start it all up."<br /><br />"Yeah, but I hit a pot-hole today.
