they can't just say we fed the golden pig - they would have to say that we keep feeding the pig, will continue to feed the pig and have fed it well.  we are sorry for ALL THE MONEY we have tinkled away and will continue to tinkle away.  all the money wasted going in circles over and over again - not because we gain new information, but because of indecision or poor decisions. 
  it is good to be a favorably perceived U of O alumni in eugene.  i wonder how much that costs?
