It would be one thing to be on a sinking ship and everyone is working so hard to fix it that there is no time to think about other things. It's another thing to be on a sinking ship and half the people are putting MORE water in the boat, a quarter of people are saying everything is normal and they are watching tv, and the last quarter see the ship sinking, have proof of it sinking, but only a few of them are trying to get the water out, the others are just stunned and don't know what to do - fight the people putting more water in? - or fight the water coming in? Or get more studies? Or get another boat? Or just give up?.
I'm one of the stunned ones.
