Election? Is there really any difference between the three candidates? The last presidential election I was up in arms because I felt lots of resent towards the military action that we were and continue to be mired in. I use the pronoun 'we' as if I am part of the team. I mean the the military action the government of this country engaged the armed forces in. The current candidates all seem to want to promote a policy of 'eventual' withdrawl. I hope whoever wins follows through. I am not against or for any of the three. Yes, I realize that the first African American president or first woman president would be monumental for this country. But, let's get over our sense of there-are-no-other-countries on this planet, it has happened elsewhere. I just hope the best person for the job gets elected. Things are looking pretty bleak, or so the media would have us believe.
Economic Stimulus Package? The federal reserve can afford to give all tax payers or tax filers $600. That seems like a lot of money that could be used to fix real problems. That could build better levies, feed homeless people, educate future citizens or be used for missions of goodwill toward countries that need it. I am not up on my macro-economics but I believe the money will go to individuals so that they can pump it back to our economy through consumer activities like buying an IPhone or something and business would thrive thus our economy would get a boost. Seems kinda roundabout, maybe I don't fully understand it. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to reject the money and I will probably buy myself something; maybe a nice commuter bicycle.
Price of gas? use less people, get a bike, walk or take public transport. The good thing is we are seeing lots of fuel alternatives. The bad thing is that some of the alternatives are not good in the long run. Did you know people are now starving because corn is now a commodity that makes more money as fuel rather than as food?
I took a walk up by the Griffith Observatory. I tried to take a picture of these wild flowers blooming in front of the trees that were burnt last year. I couldn't get in a position that would allow for more detail from the flowers while still showing the trees. Anyway, given the injured setting, the flowers reminded me of healing.
I went over my fifteen minutes :(
