It holds true with the counter-intuitive concepts that we tend to espouse here. Time will reveal the truth. But one needs to be patient and focus on the challenge of hammering in the truth within the here-and-now timeframes.benign0https://www.blogger.com/profile/08022916216097762181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33634783.post-8150567118375388712011-01-25T01:09:30.371+11:002011-01-25T01:09:30.371+11:00If not more frustrating.
