Pondering Sunday
Believe it or not I had to work yesterday. On a Saturday. It's something that is almost rare to hear now a days. It was voluntary. So not everyone worked. But I might be working more overtime starting next month. It usually gets busier about that time of year. It was posted at work the price that we pay for cheese at work is going up 5 cents to thirty cents a pound depending on the cheese we want to buy from the office. I wonder if anytime soon we will see the price go down. I doubt it.
Everything has gotten so out of control so fast. It makes my head spin. To me it looks like no one really cares, especially our leaders. I always thought things were suppose to happen gradually, like a nice gentle rain. Not a down pour all at once. Over time, not in a matter of months or weeks.
I see that oil is starting to go down. But as much as it has gone down, why hasn't the price at the pump gone down just as fast as it went up? Who is really in control of our country? Is it oil companies from other countries? Is it our own oil companies? Are the terrorists behind the jump in oil on the stock market? Maybe they figured out that the best way to weaken us is finical. Or maybe secretly they are all in it together. Make the little people suffer the most while they begin to think of themselves as gods.
But then again we are not blameless for bad things that are going wrong in our own lives. We have to always have more then the next guy, even if someone else has to pay for it. False images are what most people are. They believe everything they see on TV. "Your life will not be complete unless you have this in your life. Then you can sit back and relax. And dream. Smiling forever in total contentment."
The reason there are and will be more bank failings is because of people who had to have it all even when in reality they would never be able to maintain it if they hit a bump in the road so to speak. Try to live within your means, learn to save. Simple things in life are better in the long run.
There is one thing I like to tell people. I say we should all write a thank you letter to President Bush, thanking him for leading our country down the path of financial ruin faster then any other leader in the history of our country. Thank him for sending our troops to a place we never belonged for a reason only he really knows why.
Hopefully the next president, Obama, can set things on a better path. It will be hard. He may not be able to get much done at first but at least I think he will be able to set this country on a better path.
It's time for the old guard to step aside and let us try things a little differently. The old ways are not always the best way. People change, the planet is changing.
I have a question. Remember a few months a go they made a big deal about Obama not wearing a flag pin. Now you always see it on his jacket. Well I wonder why doesn't McCain wear one?
Thought of the day:
"Emulate only the worthy parts of your heroes."
