Stand by, Shooter. Your world is about to come crashing down.
-- Jebbie
At the risk of sounding like adnoto, I wonder if it might not be more like one of those slow motion land slides. Little bits of rubble and detritus come tumbling down each hour over an extended period of time, like the sand in an hour glass. The interminably slow grinding of the wheels of justice in month after month after month of congressional hearings. You might say it was intended to be that way. Jefferson may have wanted things to move along quickly and violently while he was in Paris but cooler heads prevailed. The idea is to get at the facts and try to prevent errors and harm from happening again. Not to bring government crashing down around our ears. It's one of the strengths of our system. It's durability. It won't please adnoto, (or Bucky) but it won't please Shooter, either.
