The easy road in lieu of the right path
by Jack GrantI posted this quote from around 260 years past twenty days ago:
We have just enough religion to hate, but not enough to love one another.
-Jonathan Swift
Despite the over two and one-half centuries since, the sentiment expressed continues to prove true.
This quote applies to thinking and feeling far beyond religion, if people are willing to go outside their own comfort-boxes.
I have been trying to process all the information available for the issues related to the purchase of the managing company of well over 20 facilities by the United Arab Emirates through their outright buying of the facilities, and beyond a remote 9/11 connection that is ill proven when it comes to the entities involved I have severe difficulties raising the cries and furor presented over the impending change of ownership.
For those who care to note such things, this means I am trying to sort through the real data associated with the issue and try to present to my readers a truly balanced yet reasoned opinion.
Unfortunately, agitators demand far more.
Read what you want, but remember that those who read only things that agree with their preferred point of view have only considered theur own point of view valid…
The math is easy, so do it.

I certainly am not as well read as you, Jack - but I have seen nothing (beyond hyperbole) that causes me to think this deal was treated with anything less than due process and consideration. The fluffing of egos and the rush to call foul (by both sides, which is fascinating to watch) appear to be complete grandstanding.
If you find anything that causes concern in the consideration, it will be very interesting.

Good people do good things.
Bad people do bad things.
To get good people to do bad things - that takes religion.
