2010...A Better Year!!
My Friends,It is time once again to say goodbye to another year. A decade filled with history
making events,tragedies,life losses,financial strife and bad luck for most working class-
folks! We have seen the decade start with a monumental tragedy of the greatest magnitude,
and end with the election of an African-American man to the white house. There are-
predictions that the recession will get worse,spiraling out of control like a bowling ball
dropped from a tall building.Then again, there are those who say that it won't be that bad-
at all! That we, as Americans, are resilient and we will bounce back. We will not bounce back unless the greed stops! Unless people start giving without believing they will get-
something in return. If big business would start dropping prices and just live with the-
profits they already have, maybe they might be able to sell more product. And if other
companies down the street did the same,they might be able to hire more folks! If that
starts a trend,the economy would improve, unemployment would go down, the government would
have more money because food stamps would not be needed as much. Folks would have their own
medical plans, be able to pay their bills,keep their homes,cars,stay warm. And,lo and behold
folks would be happy!! Because thats what its all about,isn't it? Happiness? Look, the majority of us want to be rich. But most of us would be happy if we could just pay our bills
and maybe take a trip somewhere or,eat at a nice restaurant. Or maybe buy a new car, stereo,
large appliance or furniture. But none of this will ever happen! Because greed takes
center stage every time. Its a basic human emotion. Just like the desire to be rich,which kinda walk hand in hand. Only, greed will be our downfall as human beings. It will eventually
destroy all life as we know it.We will develop into a kill or be killed society, and survival will be the watch word for us. Yes, 2010 needs to be the year that the greedy need to change. Because if it doesn't, we don't change, God himself will finish us!! If we don't finish ourselves first!! Best wishes and Happy New Year to all!! We'll need it!!
