    At some point, perception has to reconcile with reality. All of reality has tangible fact as a base. At some point, perception must be discarded and the base addressed for any REAL change to come about. Addressing perceptions as the problem leads to inconsequential change.

    Anyhow . The thought that you and Icansaynothing might have read JR's interesting piece is gratifying .

    Lovely to think that there are more than three other Grasshoppers here , all questioning and seeking .

    Never run into that usage before but you are absolutely right .

    An area to be involved in right now and the foreseeable future --- shoplifting is rocketing , mostly due to inflation which on the old measure is already over 20% .

    Catching them looks like a growth industry and I recall from my P&G days that the supermarkets assumed 2% of till sales value were lost to shoplifters . Or , more precisely

    they marked up certain items to give them the 2% that shoplifters took .

    P.S. Are you hinting that broken old ex marines make up a large part of the Booster racket ? Working in pairs !!!

    So, more observation than question but isn't the current state of affairs in the US the result of perception becoming reality? @tailfins

    Perhaps for a very short while. Reality is smacking our nation in the head with the coming inflation. The Democrat run cities are getting smacked in the head by runaway crime. There's almost always the moment that the music stops.

    They aren't accepting it. Matter of fact, lefties appear to not consider reality in their decision-making process. Not that the right is much better, but any better is better at this point.

    Avatar is fine with me --- though would have preferred , Young Hen , for accuracy reasons -- but increasingly we will see the impure resort to more and more childish and

    immature behaviour as the killer shots take neurological effect . And then frustration leads to violence .


    Look at you and Jimmy Cricket . Textbook examples . So many of the Normies are mutating to the Grr Bish Bash type as they desperately try to rationalise and deflect . All as forecast .
