Lame
There really is a lot to be said for just lurking - especially when things get dicey and this place turns into a shill fest.
Suddenly you realize how real it all must be - because if it WERE all just a farce, it would die out. But it doesn't die out, it forges on. The shills come and say their shit…but this thing just marches on and on. It was nice the last five days that i didn't let myself post at all. I really got some perspective, realized how complicated it all is…and how much more interesting it is to observe in the abstract. OUR posts don't really matter. WE were invited to be spectators for the most part. That means that the best the shills can be is spectators too - spectators who heckle but have no bearing on the outcome. It's all very interesting.
They matter to us. They have no bearing on what will happen.
How many times have we been told we are watching a movie? We can throw popcorn all we want, but the movie will roll on. We can stay and watch, we can leave….movie rolls on.
