A good movie plot

Movies, if they're good, leave you in constant suspense throughout their course.  They mimic the true reality that each of us experiences, that which requires all of our attention. But when hardship comes, luxury and fantasies melt away, and one is left with the cold reality that A=A. We are a nation deep in debt facing two powerful and warlike nations in Russia and China.

We are at the same time being confronted by dozens of commercial challenges.  How do we survive and prosper?  On a long enough time scale, the math doesn't add up.  But, luckily, humans live short lives.  It is my hope that the current set of sparring Illuminati don't kill us all.  They probably won't, that's the whole point of the illuminati, er, Jackson Hole golf club, or whatever ... after all.  Justice is a luxury enabled by survival.

The nature of survival is peace, and I think for the moment, peace remains.
