Thoughts on the economy and political poistioning.

So, perhaps a plug page wasn’t the smartest thing for the second entry into this Blog. Apparently it is something frequent in the bot driven world of search engine destruction.
From a mythological perspective, the past financial events have produced our current Nemesis. It seems appropriate the steady dismantling of the infrastructure we built after the last great crash came out like a badly played game of Jenga. It isn’t really a mystery that our methods were ill advised, that the hands off system that couldn’t provide for us in the 19th century would do the same in the 21st. Some people are still shocked. Mainly this is my generation. I am not surprised at this. Before a couple of weeks ago many people could rattle off the last six MVP’s of the superbowl before they could draw a line from one point of history to another. More people can tell you intimate details of the current American Idol before they can relate McCain to Hoover on fundamentals. This is also the generation of people that are currently taking the reins of the American economy.
I personally know more liberal arts graduates, drama graduates, and English graduates than I do science majors. This is a sad statement since I am a science major and can recognize all of my classmates. The difference is, we travel through the curriculum together. There aren’t that many classes for us. If you wanted to find a Literature or humanities credit though, chances are you have the run of times and teachers.
We’re people, and we’re pretty good at pointing the finger at others when things go wrong. As of late, the politicians have been pointing towards one another. Some people are pointing towards what little remained to constrict the free market, claiming that this would’ve never occurred had they truly been able to run wild. The simple fact that this didn’t occur is my silver lining. It’s even worse that I have to find a hypothetical for comfort.
On the other side of the coin, Democrats seem to pointing the finger squarely towards the red. This seems appropriate to some degree, but they’re still rich enough. This would really seem to be more of an elected Oligarchy than any sort of democratic society. I think that is another thing that people aren’t aware of. They don’t really run this nation, but they let politicians tell them they will. I am not sure why this is. This is probably because we’re happy enough with a flat-screen television, a game on television, beer in our hand, and Chili-Fritos in our bowl.
Our leaders have entered the realm of the public, and have since Jackson told us it was really up to us. It really isn’t. At the best of times this is a Republic. Which is fine, I don’t want the common man in the Whitehouse. I think that might be what has gone wrong in the last few decades. Tennyson wrote "I mete and dole unequal laws unto a savage race, that hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me." Ulysses complaint was that his public was unaware of his presence.
