1756 Foggy

Something broke through the haze of my aging foggy mind recently. Insiders control everything.
Like the recent Facebook IPO in the stock market. Man did that blow up in someone's face. Between Facebook and NASDAQ and various insider investment firms the people who got screwed and taken advantage of the most were the little guys.
Since that's been Facebook's attitude since the beginning it should come as no surprise. Just one more piece of data to harvest from your life for profit.
I'm guessing at their IPO Facebook page they didn't get a lot of "likes." As the fog of confusion clears, the only remaining argument about the whole debacle is what to call it. ClusterFace or ClusterBook.
Speaking of mental fog. Is that why they call elderly people old fogies. Does the f-o-g- in fogy actually stand for fog? I saw one old fogy on TV recently and it got me thinking. It was Mick Jagger and he was singing his hits from the late sixties. About the age he himself now is. But he didn't seem foggy at all.
In fact, it made something occur to me. As he was performing, they had the rock-n-roll fog start coming up around him on stage. You know, that fog machine vapor that's been creating atmospherics for rock concerts since forever. And I thought, man, there must be some long term toxic effects to inhaling all that chemical fog.
And then it hit me. Maybe it's the reverse. Maybe the fog is what's preserving all those old fogy rockers. And us non-insider little guys can never benefit from it. Like a secret helmet over their face to protect against the ravages of time.
Still, unlike the insider Facebookers, at least the rockers gave us clue.
Foghat.
America, ya gotta love it.
