Wow Helen, you're just to sharp for me, I could never slip anything past you. Your comprehension is overwhelming. I am humbled down to my knees. I must regret having the thought that I might have posted that I regard Okie as being the most astute political analyst on a2k.

Thank you - that cleared it all up. You meant to write "Okie", somehow wrote "Ionus" instead, this is a thread on political astuteness, and you suddenly had an epiphany that turned you into a Republican. So glad to know Smile

Simply by reading each of our post histories, it's all obvious. We are brothers in arms.

Good news - you've fallen into a classic mathematical paradox known as the Sleeping Beauty problem. Nobody knows what causes it, and there is no cure, but fortunately it entails no pain and suffering - lucky man Smile

....we pause to interject a discussion of the Sleeping Beauty problem, a thought experiment involving imperfect recall. Sleeping Beauty is closely related to two other problems that have been discussed in recent game theory literature: Absent-Minded Driver and the Absent-Minded Passenger. One’s views on one of these problems is likely to determine how one thinks about the others. Therefore, we can regard Sleeping Beauty as a template for a broader class of imperfect recall problems......

@High Seas,

Helen, you're babbling again. If the primary premise is wrong so will be the concluding premise.

@dyslexia,

Your "again" is the determining symptom of the Sleeping Beauty syndrome - you got it in spades. Read the link >

I do, Ionus doesn't have any guns so no matter what guns I have they are better than his.

I was there in the 1980s.
I went to Melbourne, Australia.
I stayed at the Hyatt on Collins Street.
I visited the zoo in Melbourne, Australia.
Its a good zoo. I fraternized with some
of its inhabitants, who were roaming around,
being hospitable. I petted an Imu.
To my chagrin, I did not establish convivial social relations
with a kangaroo. R thay friendly ??

More like an arrogant giant rat. I bought some food as a kid to feed them, and while I was hand feeding the cute little ones a male came over and kicked the snot out of me, spilling the corn on the ground and then eating it. I stood up and looked up at the monster and punched it. A fight then insued during which time I was badly scratched and only saved from a disembowelling by heavy winter clothing that was torn through. I did however get a couple of good solid jabs in to the face, neck and chest. A ranger broke up the fight and I was removed from the park. I returned another time to pet the koalas.

Next time, bring brass knuckles.
A few minutes ago, I just dreamed about wild animals roaming in my naborhood, including a tiger, by whom I was not threatened,
but I was menaced by a large primate. I remember thinking of not turning my back on them, and showing counter-arrogance, counter-aggression. It worked (in the dream).
