Living without a net
Stocks put brakes on plunge in midafternoon - Business - Stocks & economy - msnbc.com: In the United States, there were reports that more people joined the unemployment line last week than a week earlier, gasoline prices contributed to higher inflation and manufacturing slowed in the mid-Atlantic
Human beings live not merely with a need for confidence but with a need for some assurance that they have ground to stand on. Today the reality is too seismic to form a basis for confidence. So much that we have built was an error to begin with that we are wisely letting it collapse with few tears. As we perceive and begin more and more to live by the values we have ignored or rejected over time, the solutions will drop like ripe fruit and confidence wlll well up in a sea of happy tears. And we will have learned that we should have been living without a net all along.

Hey John is a world security threat enough to get you off the dime?
UN Says Climate Change Threatens World Security | Common Dreams: "Climate change could exponentially increase the scale of natural disasters while at the same time threatening world security, a senior UN official told the UN Security Council Wednesday" I shouldn't single Boehner out. He is having a rough time dealing with his confreres. But we have the UN ratcheting up climate change talk and I can tell you from my years there that even though the place is stodgy the stuff they are concerned about is real. We need to get on this and it actually looks as though the Rick Perry See No Evil mentality could persist until Obama is reelected with a clear enough majority to enable some real progress. Or not. In which case we will experience this cold turkey as it were. Simply watch like Nietzsche's passive blinkers as the world self destructs.
