Thank You Vermillion for the reminder. Through our impatience we often divert into exaggerations of our perceived problems.

I am now in Europe for the summer and see Africans trying to get into Greece, Italy and Spain and in turn to remainder of Europe. This is as it was with the wall in Berlin.
Similar to us, Europeans while sympathetic, complain.

But no matter how good we have it, one can always hope and expect better. No one person or country is perfect.

For me, I think we have good reason to judge the Ring as much delayed and that it should have progressed much faster.
