Lee -- what I'm prepared to trust in is that the prudent folks at the FSC (and counsel) have made their agreement with individual government employees whom THEY have looked in the eye --


IDEA: Governments, like large companies, often use PR and branding to associate themselves with High Ideas or Abstract Concepts -- they do this to convey a certain feeling to their customers (or constituents) or to characterize their operations in a certain light.

Rather than ask the question can we trust the agreement -- ? -- if what you're concerned for is its basic plausibility, in light of the respective agendas and interests of the parties involved -- I would ask, instead:

Do you believe its possible that the two sides could meet privately and find a MECHANICS OF COMPROMISE that would:

1. Resolve the impasse,

2. Allow each representative to return to his or her constituents with "good news", and

3. Not publicly violate the attributes of each brand -- ?

I say, sure.
