I think Chewing Tripe is something you learn with time. I chew more tripe now than when I was younger. It’s really an art form. If you want to keep your sanity you learn to chew tripe. I remain silent (& chew tripe) if I know nothing can be done about a given situation. But if I see a definite wrong, and something must be done, I refuse to chew tripe. But then, that’s me.

amazing, I was just spitting out the tripe as I picked up your story. It's my day off, and I don't want to do anything just yet. My dog is up in the bed with me, and my wife is busy making a racket in the livingroom. So, I'm chewing it. You're so right we all go through it, caring more or knowing more than those idiots charged with actually carrying out the day to day stuff around us. It's maddening,and our expectations are that it will only get worse with time. Hang in there old buddy, we're all sick and tired of the incompetence we're surrounded by and lack of control we have "on the journey". Thanks for the observation.
