Who’s going to fix our financial mess? Please stop pointing fingers…

“Attention Americans, I must inform you that my lame ass too late plan to stimulate the economy with stimulus checks didn’t work. Our economy is crumbling and the world is watching. The value of dollar as sunk, the stock market is at historic lows and I have no words of wisdom, creative thinking or any plans to take action. I will ride out my term, leave the problem for the next guy and just say that it was good while it lasted. Please accept my apologies…I guess I just wasn’t the right guy for the job” G Dub

Who would have thought that a tiny check could do so little? The country is in dire need of leadership, and during this critical time we need action. We need leaders. We need change. With any luck we’ll pull through quickly and move on to prosper. The key is not action by the few, but action by the many. We all are responsible and accountable for our present situation and all need to work together to bring this financial disaster to an end. No more pointing fingers. Let’s fix this.

Locks & Keys

I like to wear jeans. They are comfortable, casual and fit in just about anywhere. One thing that is annoying though is the pockets. It’s hard put put stuff in them and once in hard to get them out.

Recently I was trying to get my keys out of my jean pockets, a frustrating task and after finally succeeding I was met with laughter and looks of surprise. Why did I have all of those keys?! Well obviously they were for all of my stuff, but the sad reality is because people can’t be trusted. Yes on the whole society through the social contract has to trust its members, but like everything one bad apple always spoils the bunch.

Over time we have learned to secure our valuables through the use of locks and keys, making them better, stronger and more secure with technology. I can’t wait until my keys are easy to get out of my jeans.
