+++ Which means: Neither you nor - more certainly - I nor any few others here on this forum ever expected anything else from Powell than grossest propaganda stunts.

+++ All that you can't achieve with only lethargic, dumb and hazy emotions and some crude eruptions and the flurry of platitudes they produce from time to time ..
Though that may be your natural environment.
