RISK RUNNER

I'm having a hard time trying to ascertain whether some of these occurances are simply the way things pan-out, or is the fact that I'm being literally taken for granted. I won't lie from the sense of being maneuvered, but once I begin to engage in what we call the balance of the situation, the other side of the see-saw hangs in the air a little too long. Especially for my tastes! There must be another way. Let's see, if we don't socialize with whom we call the bad-guy, would this make the scenario any better from the public aspection, because people do watch you. Isn't that right.
