Common Sense Crisis Continued…

06Oct08

I wrote last night a post for Everyday Life (http://everydaylifeonline.com) about a recent robbery in my neighborhood called Too Close to Home. In it I express the anger I felt towards the person that robbed MY store and indignation at the fact that he felt the right to effect MY life. I have similar feelings regarding the Common Sense Crisis.

I read a news report last week about how other countries in South America and across the world were even angrier than before at America and commenting on how greedy and selfish Americans are. The economic woes that are wreaking havoc through our financial market are doing the same for market throughout the world. Other countries are worried about how they are going to survive – especially those countries that we have gone in and “reformed” who now rely upon the strength of our economy to keep their own economies viable. These countries are viewing the acts of the decision-makers on Wall Street and in our government that caused this meltdown representative of all Americans.

This makes me angry. How dare these decision-makers mess with MY country? Who do they think they are to cause me to be viewed as arrogant, selfish, and greedy? Because they fell prey to the Common Sense Crisis and acted extremely unwisely, I am now expected to pay for it both here at home and it appears, throughout the world.
