Unpaid Gratitude

A thanks to those who gave up much of their personal time in order to fix what they had not broken (but may have participated in its decline).

In three years or so, with the world financial stability shifting and with its shift, drifting, we may have forgotten that wealth redistribution is the game's engine.

Like the frog said, it's never easy being green and so we say goodbye to the last of the greenbacks and hello to the smorgasbord of currency controls.

Economic recovery is a thankless job but those who know tip their hats, nod their heads and raise a hurrah to the people who dedicated themselves to plugging leaks in the sinking ship of the global economy, even if the rudder was unattended, leaving us to drift to new shores and ready for new ventures.

Thanks to Keith at Brix (formerly Luciano), Becky at Marshall's who remembers the old McClellan's and Montgomery Ward stores downtown.

Final note: Be careful letting ethnic hatred get out of hand - good to relieve some of the valve pressure but you don't want to cause an Oriental explosion, do you?  Nuclear trigger fingers get itchy for all the wrong reasons.
