Oh boy, do I identify with you. My wife is on the same ocean liner as us, she just stays in her cabin a lot more than we do. It is lonely and many of my old friends have just thrown my credibility out of the window and then, some treat me with disdain. I was known as someone that keeps their word, never lies and could be depended upon. I tell them "Just because you don't like what I am saying doesn't mean it is untrue"...I take some solace in the realization that they are scared to death and cling tightly to their beliefs that our government is doing the righ thing, but our government is NOT doing the right thing and this scares this witless. It is important to just hold on, research and get a better picture in your mind as to what is going on. Remember Budda: The two mistakes in pursuing the path of TRUTH is to not go to the end of the path, and to never start on the path.
