I believe Morgan Freeman says it best in " Bonfire of the Vanities" when he said go home and be decent people.

This is what we need to tell congress too.  Maybe they will stop meddling with stuff without reading what it is they are meddling with.

Let me ask you a few questions:.......

Did you buy your house or make your last major purchase on credit without reading the contract?

Would you expect a passing grade on an assignment that you never read, researched or wrote?

Knowing what you do now would you have voted the same in 2006 and 2008?  Honestly please.

As for myself....

1- I have never made a major purchase without knowing the details.  I did bid on a contract once and failed to read the completion clause and found out how fast $500 a day adds up ;-(

2- WOW nowadays marketers do it all the time especially in our IM communities.  (Op Ed) However we all know we should not expect to succeed without doing the work.  Manifestation only works if you apply the principles that cause it to happen.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

3- Yes I would have voted a bit different and less locally, opinionated in 2006.  We would have seen this trainwreck. 

As for the past election, we were stuck between a rock and a hard place with no real solution either one or the other. 

I would have voted differently though for sure, I would have written in Palin for President and that Libertarian dude that stepped down for a celebrity on the Libertarian ticket.  His name will come to me , but you know who I am talking about, if you are up on this subject anyway.

Just saw the end of the movie and thought hmmm.
