Daunting message old sage. And yes, the master of greed is a man with no virtue and few attributes. But to the attributes the followers follow. And there we have it, climate change for doubling down on the victims. Or fools depending where we straddle the fence.

Damn, what is to become of such affairs of the heart and mind and pocketbook but run to the hills as the water rises.?

Think again prophet for there is nothing like a few thoughts beyond the obvious to cut one's teeth on. Or as we from the Commonwealth of Kentucky would suggest, chew the fat when the gettin' is good. How about the antecedent to the likes of our homespun overt Narcissist? Not him per se but the culture and our society that demand such individuals. History has had such occasions. And with the study of such times answers come calling. While now we cry wolf as he huffs and buffs and blows the likes of what rubble remains. Not of his making but that which so many viewed as theirs from the taking. A long story Mike and as you know, never enough time or space here to go to such lengths.

Thanks for your ponderings. And better yet, view on problems and predicaments. And as we also say behind closed doors on the bluegrass, the pickle we are in.
