Excellent article which gives us some perspectives to consider and ponder on.

After reading it through the first time it reminded me of how a dog starts chasing its own tail only to lose focus on what’s happening around him. He becomes so focused on his tail chasing he gets to a point where he has to stop because he is too tired to continue.

After he recuperates and looks around he realizes he has gone nowhere and is right back to where he started not really knowing why he was chasing his tail in the first place.

Maybe we should take our mother’s advice when we were kids. Look both ways and listen for cars coming so you don’t get hit.

In my opinion the things coming at us are more dangerous than a car speeding through the neighborhood and much harder to see and hear.

Stop chasing your tail. Stop look and listen. It might just save your life.

thank you John. I like the dog analogy, and indeed stop look and listen. So many didn't and just ran into the arms of the jabbers.

Maybe the rubber bullets help to soothe the rent-a boy blue’s conscience but, the person having their face ripped off by them are probably not so amused.

10cc was one of the greats! I still listen to them often.

It was/is their variety that is so good. I was a teenager in the 70's and biased, but say it was a great time musically with so much of all sorts.
