Say it ain’t so, Joe! There you go pointing backwards again … Now, doggone it, let’s look ahead ”

In getting out of a place it is not out of place to know how you got there.
To make it clear, consider this example.

You are in a snow storm, you have been hunting, or maybe just hiking. You are in new country, marked, but not by you. Yet since you know what you are doing, you’ve hiked and hunted many times, should you also think that you know how to

If you don’t know how you got here, you damned well better figure it out quickly

Knowing where you are and the way you came is the only certain way to safety, to rescue.

The Don’t Look Back angle has been used for years. Its success has kept us from winning small wars. Hobbled us to one place. Dwindled our supplies. We ignore the question so we don’t have to find the answer. We have been trapped by our own leaders because they will not learn easy lessons. This lesion of allegience to ignorance causes continued blood wasting, blood letting, using the leechcraft of war against all, even your own citizens.

You doubt my motives. I doubt your courage, even your capacity to win. Instead you treat this world like a game of blind man’s bluff. Sorry, nobody gets in free. What got you trapped is a key to getting out of a trap. The best way out may be to back track. Anybody who has hunted new or unfamiliar country knows that. Beware the snowblind leader who doesn’t want to know how they arrived or where they are. They aren’t leading, they’re just lost.
