As I said, I'm extremely optimistic.

However, you are defending such an outlook at a point in time when you can still feel "immune" and "on the verge of the big breaks" because those potential big breaks are still in play.

I defy anyone here, anyone, not to be deeply affected if it comes to light that the BBI or POC1 negotiations have a sword put through them. Not so immune then.

Anyway, the point of my post was not to discuss the merits of whether the deals will be signed - rather, to accept Isaac Newton at his word when he said every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Zealotry tends to neglect that.
