As I suspected, not a lot of news there; mostly confirmation of the things we already knew. <br /><br />® Nancy: All the "behind the scene stuff" that causes havoc for our lives. Sad, but true.<br /><br />® lakeviewer: Right; not worth the fuss. Mostly.<br /><br />® potsoc: Diplomacy: war by other means?<br /><br />® ExmoorJane: I just wish I could get into hibernation mode.<br /><br />® GW: Too much exposure isn't good.

Hibernation is fun, if you can actually get around to doing it.<br /><br />® FF: Good to be in touch, Julie.<br /><br />® Dana: You've got a white dog we can see, and and black one we can't. Pretty stark contrast, that.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-90145548128779394742010-12-05T10:49:53.677-06:002010-12-05T10:49:53.677-06:00I guess I'm a hibernator where caring is conce...I guess I'm a hibernator where caring is concerned.

So a diplomat (and politician) is a double liar. These leaks should not surprise us all that much and everyone of them luminaries is already running for cover and exploring new and safer ways to con everybody.potsochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497735324298117643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-60326147493944394172010-11-30T16:38:43.565-06:002010-11-30T16:38:43.565-06:00Yeah, lots of stupid things, not worth all the fus...Yeah, lots of stupid things, not worth all the fuss.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-65905594854998941092010-11-30T13:52:54.273-06:002010-11-30T13:52:54.273-06:00I think Wikileaks is a good idea - maybe if there ...I think Wikileaks is a good idea - maybe if there are no more secrets then there will be no more illicit wars, banks, corporations, pharmaceuticals, etc. It's all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes that causes all the rest of us to have to live with it - whether we like it or not.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.com
