40. Everybody gets a turn- and then are turned out!

Mar 2013

Nobody stays on top forever; KO has played out and now he must go just like the rest of them/us. Some are better than others- but they ALL must go nevertheless. I had to go too- you will also! It's called DEVELOPMENT; some would refer to it as PROGRESS! Remember the world must go on- it must keep turning and it can not, and will not, stop for anything or anybody.

BTW, I wasn't given $50M to leave, so I consider KO very lucky in the end. This way KO can continue to write and conduct research, something I think he is very good at doing and probably wants to spend more time doing.

Also, he probably has enough money now to contribute to purchasing a network himself. In other words, I am sure that KO will be just fine and I don't feel any pity or sympathy for him. It definitely could be worse: shrug:
