And a star for you!
New decade.. hopefully it's brighter than the last one. It really interests me that on the second day of the new decade we have such an explosion of
threads dealing with revolution.
Who knows what the years will hold?
There is a tremendous amount of uncertainty and apprehension abroad throughout the world right now my friend.
I think there were a tremendous amount of voters who really believed Obama would bring some change to government and real relief to the economy and
felt that it would be fairly immediate.
A year down the road things are at best the same on some fronts, worse on other fronts and very few if any improvements on any front to point to.
They are talking about more bailouts and the ones so far haven’t really helped the people. They are broadening the war on terror and so far that
hasn’t yielded any results in Afghanistan or Iraq and hasn’t done much to curb the attitudes of that occasional religious extremist willing to
risk all to make a political statement against U.S. Foreign policy.
The job market hasn’t improved, and on a whole Americans have never been less optimistic about their future in many decades and it shows.
There are those people who feel a more radical change must somehow be made yet are frustrated as to when and how that could ever be done. There are
those people who still have faith in Obama and or the system and fear that the elements who might want to make a radical change might actually try and
it will end up being to their detriment if it happens.
Everyone starts out the New Year looking to make this year better than the last, and when you are coming off the heels of a few bad years in a
row…
People start thinking, people start talking, in a society as diverse as ours one person’s hope is another person’s fear.
That matters little when times are good, but when times are bad…
In a couple more weeks it will be back to the same old same old though. Most people never stick to their New Years Resolution but I still intend on
trying to marry the entire Swedish Bikini Team!
Wish me luck!
