I revel in the fact, that after all is said and done, this year is an election year. I also revel in the fact, that Wall Streets days of greed, are over. What I do not revel in, is watching the government, bail out Wall Street money firms, and pad bank employees pay checks. I do not revel in the fact, that millions will lose their homes. The possibility of food shortages, soup lines, and the reality of a rising violent crime rate, because it will now be a brave new era of have and have nots. I do not revel in the fact that there is a very real danger, of the American dollar losing all value, because of the current money crisis, as it turns out, is far worse than govenment was led to believe, and as a result, was too late to act.
Yes. The bank melt down on wall street was a beautiful thing. Bank CEOs got rich, people suffered, bank CEOs earned hefty retirement accounts, while people suffered, and yet, nothing was ever done to put a damper on what is to become the next great deperession.
Yes, the market melt down on Wall Street is a beautiful thing. But, in all its beauty, lies the fact, that easy money, is what the markets offered, and now what we earned is possibly total economic collapse. And, with the billion dollar bail out being promised by government, lies the prospect of America being turned into a third world country...if it has not happend already, litteraly over night.

In a brave new world, we need to question all motives, good or bad. Not because questioning motives is a fad, but because as the old saying goes, the highway to Mephistopheles lair is always paved with good intentions. We need to fight evil in all of its forms. From the drug dealer down the street, to those in power, and to those who serve in our churches. We need to start being aware of what is happening in our own back yard, because, now is the time. I am against public education. Not because education is a bad thing, but because we do not educate our kids, we indoctrinate them. I am against law enforcement, and the penal system. Not because I am a fan of criminals, but because of the criminals behind the badge, behind the judges robe, and behind the offices we elect them to. I am for the underdog, because it is he who is usually the victor. I always help those in need, and also help those who are not. I am for those who want to help make humanity better. Not worse. I am for those who sacrifice a whole life to protect us from those who wish to destroy us. You will either agree or disagree. My posts are my opinions only. It is up to you, the reader to think about the issues being written about, form your own opinion, and decide what you want to believe. Welcome to a brave new world.
