Last night while flipping stations on TV, I came upon a program on HBO called Hacking Democracy. The implications of this documentary are chilling, as the group who went out to investigate claims of fraudulant voting confronted the makers of the touch screen voting machines at hearings and with secret cameras. The Diebold company stated [...]

Leading With Kindness
Posted in Economic commentary, future of our country, tagged leading with kindness, new corporate philosophy on October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A New book, a new day. As I watched an interview with one of the candidates on Sunday where he commented how the U.S. should lower taxes for corporations so they will stay in the U.S. rather than going where they can find cheaper labor and better tax advantages, I was appalled.
Here we see the [...]

At the office we were talking about the issues of the economy and overspending on the part of Americans. I.E., who is ultimately responsible for our individual economic messes? And we decided that each of us has to be responsible for our spending and purchase of things we either can or cannot afford.
One of the [...]

It’s fascinating to watch the charges/counter-charges flying between the Republicans and Democrats. The trivia factor has become nauseating to say the least, and we sit here waiting for someone to be presidential (including the one we already have) while the stock markets rise and fall in the face of economic uncertainty.
True to form, it seems [...]

If you haven’t seen this, here’s a logical and creative way to end this whole economic mess by someone who prefers to remain anonymous (gee, too bad. Maybe he’s who we should elect for President)!
Hi Pals,
I’m against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in a We [...]
Energy Manipulation?
Posted in Economic commentary, tagged blocking alternative research, oil price manipulation on October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Isn’t it interesting how suddenly the price of oil is plummeting? But wait…didn’t we have limited supplies? Wasn’t there some very important reason that the prices were high other than high demand?
Interesting to ponder that since both presidential candidates are talking about renewable energy investment and pursuit, the price of oil is dropping dramatically. Could [...]
The Politics of Desperation
Posted in Political commentary, future of our country on October 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When a candidate feels threatened and doesn’t have salient points to throw at the other one, character assassination becomes the weapon of choice. To discredit someone through association with unsavory characters or bigots or individuals with revolutionary pasts is part of a ploy to avoid issues. It was used against Nixon when the democrats tried [...]
Heaven or Hell?

If you haven’t seen this before, enjoy. Have a good laugh because this is the way it works from all parties. No contract, no accountability. No fault.
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit
by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

I got this in an e-mail this morning. It’s well worth reading. Why do we not see this for what it is…incompetent and in some cases, corrupt, leadership!
