Take Care of the Children.

It has been awhile since I had a decent thought.


Listening to my iPOD the other day I was surprised by an old Simon and Garfunkle song: Garfunkel sang: " I would rather be a forest than a street". I started thinking about this phrase and the song. Are we tied to the earth or are we tied more to each other? Would I destroy a tree to keep my family warm during a cold winter night? It goes without saying.
Save mother earth or save my fellow man. I choose the latter. For with our creative and collective intelligence we can surely find the solutions to our problems. We just have to have that desire to help and make things better.

Years ago when I was single and wanted to become a hermit, I would have felt the other way. But since now I have kids I see the miracle in the lives of humans.

Funny how the situations in our lives dictate how we feel.

auto loans

Am I missing something?

Why can't the auto makers hit up the banks that the US government just gave $700 Billion? I understand the banks still have $340 billion left. Why don't they just go to the banks and ask for some guaranteed loans? Why do they have to waste congress's time? I mean really. Shouldn't congress be doing more important stuff? Like fixing the tort reform and legal system or social security.

I am sick of congress. I think we should throw them all out. Didn't we tell them months ago how we felt about this bailout business? Nice of them to listen.
