3.

Friends of mine just came back from Asia speaking of high energy and activity, making the observation that things here are more different than we realize…in fact, noting that it’s kind of over.  Personally, I don’t know if i should be more afraid that it is indeed over or that public anger is only a dull roar while we’re being boofed…haha..remember that word!

When i say we, I mean everyone who is either: a shareholder, or a taxpayer. What? you’re both? All that means is you’re taking it twice.

A lot of top economists have written about what we need to do to fix the problem, but none of these remedies will amount to much because while we work to fix the gaping hole in our financial system, we’re borrowing money in order to hemorrhage it.

The obvious solution is to:

1. End the institution of interest globally. Heresy.

and.

2. something that seems equally impossible…foster a society in which the goodness of humankind is reinforced.  How?  Well we can start by atoning for the sins our nation was founded on and uplift the base…the backbone of our society…that’s where the life-blood…the energy of this nation is.  I liken the situation to that of a fruit tree. You don’t feed a tree from its branches, you feed it from its roots…the base. When the tree becomes infected, or its branches invasive, you prune it so that in a couple of years it can produce fruit yet again.

i think you get my point.

is it the future yet?
