gwr1. (must seem lonely especially these last few days)
I've been kinda busy myself; too busy to watch the markets and too busy to comment especially when I have nothing of importance to add.
One post earlier did set me thinking though.
It was posted by luker (the one about WE ARE THE GOLD) on Nov. 9 at 12.38 p.m. (way past my bedtime to reply) and it got me thinking.
Snippet:
“Part 3 of 3 is the most profound insight on why we are where we are in this allegedly Representative Republic that I have encountered in 40 years of deep reading on history and economics. In this day of shallow education and shortened attention spans, I never expected to come across anything like the profound insight and clarity she put forth here. I submit that the above paragraphs are nothing less than the Unified Field Theory of Western Civilization. One of the Founding Fathers said that the system of government they had put together would only work for ‘a moral and religious people. They will utterly fail for any other’. In a few paragraphs, Ann just explained to us why that is so. Yes, it’s depressing, and the successfully and designed outcome of an amoral state education system. Well done Ann. -Trivium Pursuit”
Comment: I’ve just finished writing a book entitled “A New Way”. I’ve been involved in my message since September last year and was taken by surprise when I read luker’s post and the link.
I agree with the author’s thinking with the exception of her reference to religion, but it certainly does give one food for thought.
“We live in interesting times”
Good Luck to all!
