Crisis

Sunday October 25, 2009 at 04:10PM

The current economic crisis was not caused by honest mistakes or circumstances beyond our control. It was caused by reckless, left brain dominated, asocial individuals.

Astonishingly, we bailed them out!

With no repentance or gratitude, they paid themselves enormous bonuses; and quietly, gloated. They know that public attention is fickle. And, they know we will forget the insult.

When individuals can demonstrate, with impunity, their contempt for the common-weal; when profits are privatized and losses are socialized; there is nothing to prevent another economic or social emergency.

Now, the crisis seems to be abating. We all have our own issues to attend. But, we may miss, yet another, opportunity to make things better.
