Jock was the kind of guy that basically was ok with how Bobby did things and how JR did things. On the issue of Cliff Barnes he let Bobby do his thing but Jr Was doing his whichever way worked faster Jock was ok with. But see even Jock though had limits. The funny thing is in a way Jock himself knew that this really was his fault in a way. If you remember a scene when Bobby told Miss Ellie and Jock about the Asian Oil Wells and how JR bet Southfork. I remember Jock saying to Bobby when JR wasn't there. JR was in the fields when I needed him and I taught him his head and drive for big business but I never taught him when to stop. I think that is something that we must not overlook. To me its the real basis for explanation on a lot of the business decisions JR Made through the years and I think a lot of the reason why BD calhoun was around why JR was tricked into selling Ewing Oil forgetting that Dusty Farlow owned the stock. You see I think even from his death Jock knew it was him and he knew also which is why JR faked his death that JR was going to be broke before he died just by the fact that he was never taught when to stop.  I think that's why I don't really criticize JR completely.</p></blockquote><p></p>
