"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont *kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you

What a delight to be back in the RCM saddle, to turn a phrase, and
yes, I will see too my potty-mouth. (grin)

I admit I was not holding the work right. Thus, the thumb cut. So,
live and learn.

In general it is interesting that there is a break (in me, and in
you?) between what I know and what I do. I KNOW it'll dig in, but
unless I remember WHY, I don't modify my behavior to make it NOT dig
in. Now I remember why, too much rake in a soft material makes a tool
dig in. And so next time, should be good results.
