The opening quote that I used for this short post, was intended to spark some thought perhaps about our actions, as a group or individual with regard to the current Steem/Steemit vs Tron fiasco.
I'm an older member of the Steemit community (In biological terms, not by date of membership) and I used to be fairly smart in ways that elude me a bit in my Senior years. Yet, since I haven't totally drifted into La-La Land, there may be some value in what I have to offer my fellow community members in regard to this whole mess.
Have a Marvelous Day/Life
