The book 'Legacy of Ashes' by Pultizer Prize winner Tim Wiener is by far the most accurate on record compilation of the CIAs failures since its inception to 2007; that chronology of blunders by in large contradict nearly every statement you've made regarding your claims the agency is more often right than wrong... in fact the CIA undoubtedly seems through corruption, incompetence, and black book funding to have destabilized the nation and the modern world. I'm curious if you've read it, and which of the horrific blunders the agency has initiated or caused- from it's actions that lead to the Berlin wall, to casting democratic nations into dictatorships that you feel has caused our nation the most termoil?
If you haven't read it, I encourage you to take off your rose colored glasses for a minute and pick up a copy. The prologue of the book speaks volumes and details the sources of its claims which are all on official record both written & interview recorded; inside and outside the organization at all echelons of government no less.

It was gifted and I would never buy rare. At this point at auction it's a mortgage payment... So I'm conflicted, hence #3.

I have a 2007 unopened bottle of Sam Adams utopia, with the collectors glass + original boxes and packaging... and given it's near infinite shelf life I'm on the fence about opening it now. If you have the following options, what would you do?
Wait for that 'special' occasion as I've been doing and then going 'nope' not special enough (needs to be big).
Sell it now, and use the profit to re-buy a newer bottle to try it.
Hold on to it and let it appreciate as a future auction investment?
