Yes, but if I think it's a chasm, it's harder to do all of the next steps. Who wants to donate to a losing campaign? Who wants to help at the losing campaign level? So I choose NOT to head that direction....

I can't help but be reminded of this cartoon when reading that:

smbc-comics.com: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal...

I've never been too bad. But I found out recently that one of my friends that died young hung himself. Another friend used my boat while I was gone for Xmas, broke up with his GF on my boat, and I got him to leave after 30 days. He would up institutionalized for 30 days - suicidal. I found out one lady I was interested in was getting married and had dark problems. She committed suicide just before marriage, about an hour after I last talked to her. My Army buddy housemates came home to find a buddy in his running car with a hose from the exhaust running into the car. m I've never been suicidal one bit.

I realize full well we can lose, I just don't dwell there - and I choose to talk about it in a better light than y'all. We'll just have to see. I see absolutely no profit in saying we've already lost the race, and everything from now on is just going through the motions. So let me be frank - that may be the way it is, but it's loser talk, you cannot pull around and win if everyone talks the race is already lost. Recognize it, but put it away.
