I ain't get no stinkin' bailout.

We should all send messages to our congressmen, senators and anyone else we can think of telling them that if they approve this bail out they won't have a job come next election cycle. There was an AP article referring to the presidential election, talking about how whites look at blacks as lazy and shiftless. Aren't we the ones that built this country on our backs, tears and blood. It's the stupid white people who have destroyed the financial markets. I just hope ya'll don't plan on going down with them.

There is going to be a "go down" whether there is a bailout or not. One is just an honest "go down" and the other is a stick your finger in the dike, "go down." The honest one gives us an excellent opportunity to sow new seeds by having an enlightened consciousness of what an economy should do. It should serve people, prosper everyone, and create value. The other will be about expediency and will just delay the inevitable. As it says in The Bible, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” It also says, “But the greatest of these is love.” Call me crazy, but I would rather live in a society and participate in an economy that planted seeds of love. Business, just like our government, has the opportunity to do great things, the choice is ours. I have written a lot about the Inspiration Age and an honest “go down” could be a real turning point in our growth as a nation.

There are signs of it everywhere. Take a look at the Pickens Plan, and the Red Project, and the recent united efforts to eradicate cancer, HIV/AIDS, world hunger, and the list goes on. Now here is an interesting number, the same $700 Billion dollars that this bailout could cost is what we spend a year buying foreign oil. Opportunity is knocking! How do you prosper in troubling times? You get creative, you solve problems, and you serve others, but first, you do no harm. When you need, you give! Our economy is backwards due to backwards thinking. It’s not, what’s in it for me, it’s what can I do for you? Begin to pour!

Just because my answer ain't your answer don't make it a wrong answer. Tell me about your investment that you're waiting for a return on.
