Are We There Yet?

Gambling is now known as gaming, giving a desperate endeavor with pejorative connotations a lighter more socially acceptable image. Getting bumped off by your own side is likewise transmuted into the more palatable friendly fire. It thus seems only fair that the screwing Ming received on May 8th should have a more benign appellation. Perhaps, a Readjustment In Decision Expectations(RIDE), is the proper euphemism. So while the powers that be gamed Ming with friendly fire, he should just sit there and enjoy the RIDE. Ming feels much better now that he didn't get screwed but was just along for the RIDE. The only question left unanswered is "Are we there yet or will we suffer another accident before we arrive?
