Definitely--- because in that process most of the other ills (War, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger) will have to be considered as well. It's a like a row of dominoes---one thing falls into another and another...
According to Peter Kropotkin's theory of spontaneous organisation a total collapse is impossible....we shall see whether he was right quite soon I think? :-)
Starvation is definitely a hitch in people being interested in global warming -- and so is illness, from lack of health care and adequate medications. A country, any country, is as weak as its weakest member. If we would be part of a strong world, we must build from a strong foundation. Therefore, the weakest members must see beyond poverty and endless sicknesses. If we are ill, so is our world. The domino effect works best when triggered from the correct starting point.
I think the economy should take a front seat, though there are other pressing issues. Seems to me it'll be hard to work on anything else, to any successful purpose until the economy is back on strong footing.
I think that it's a blunder and disaster with the banking system right now. I will say that in my own opinion as once again we have seen bonuses spent on the money placed into them. It all comes down to what GA said as well as I do care about it but we may very well see a shift in where the economic centralized area moves towards....
Bill so true! I was watching the news and man, here we go again with money being placed into AIG and then bonuses paid out. I vouch right now for regulation of the system in the United States.
Norma look again at what is happening and I will say again in no way - as you know me, but what is happening down there with the administration? It starts there but there does not seem to be any hold on what the government can do with the banks when the give them money. I really amazes me with what is taking place right now.
I am assuming you are refering to the bailout funds, Jack. I can see why they felt the bailout was necessary (though many thought and still think it was a bad idea) but I cannot understand why they didn't set it up so they could control how that money was spent. Every PENNY of those funds needed to be well spent and accounted for. As is, it's starting to look as if much of those funds have been washed down the drain and to no good purpose.

ReplyDeleteFeel the same here. One thing leads into another.
ReplyDeleteAlways, but we must remember too--as evident in the photo illustrating the question: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
ReplyDeleteThe economy is the most pressing issue.
ReplyDeleteI just worry that there is too much media scare-mongering going on. That does not bolster confidence or help us heal and go forward.
ReplyDelete100% agree
ReplyDeleteI am not to worried about it.
ReplyDeleteThe banks do tend to fall like stacked dominoes, but we'll get through it. Hopefully we'll find a better way of re-starting than going to war.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Peter Kropotkin's theory of spontaneous organisation a total collapse is impossible....we shall see whether he was right quite soon I think? :-)
ReplyDeleteAside of the media or blogs media driven....
ReplyDeleteCould you expand on that?
ReplyDeleteIf terrorism is considered to be global why not the Monetary System?
ReplyDeleteHas done, will do, more damage by far.

ReplyDeleteHmm?

ReplyDeleteSeems to me it'll be hard to work on anything else, to any successful purpose until the economy is back on strong footing.
Without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteAnd more good, too. Money is very handy sometimes.

Foundation yes...solid foundation with solid planning.
ReplyDeleteNorma look again at what is happening and I will say again in no way - as you know me, but what is happening down there with the administration?

I wonder where we take it from here as with the economy.

Norma, yes I really do believe so. This is where I was posting in the next blog on if regulation is a good thing or not?
ReplyDeleteAnd most definately there is a dominoe effect that does take place within macro economics...
ReplyDeleteIt's all a mess. < sigh >
ReplyDeleteBut shall work out...
ReplyDeleteIn time. Perhaps not in time for some, however.
