*sniff sniff*

I'm going around the boards, the resources, reading articles, posts ... and *sniff sniff* I'm smelling things ... Everywhere I go. Strong smells. Rotten smells. Hard to tell at first where it's coming from cause the wind keeps blowing and changing direction. Greed and mendacity. It's filling the air, filling the lungs, and being swallowed whole by large herds of oxygen-deprived sheep.

I think a few lines from one of my favorite writings explains it best. Big Daddy from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof":

"What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it Brick? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?...There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity...You can smell it. It smells like death."

Ah yes, our industry. Breathe deeply.
