I feel so jazzed up today…. I really feel pretty luck to be me today. Everything will be aaaaight after all. Just wanted to tell ma diary that.
Being a cynic at heart, I really don’t Profess any one Particular Preference for any Political Party over the other. I have voted for both parties in the past, but in general I have become jaded over the years. I have realized that regardless of one’s individual preferences and thoughts, the dominant parties in our society espouse, reflect, (sorry I am on a big word run) very little differences.
I believe in the democratic principles on which our country was formed, but our system (financial, governmental, etc..) is now so perverted it’s ridiculous. I think I talk for most American, when I say, it really doesn’t matter who sits at the top of government.
Now, there are core issues that the parties like to take up as their battle songs – the Democrats are all for social programs and helping “the man”, while the Republicans are all about moral constraints and bootstrap ideology to achieve. I am all about both of those so no sweat. What I think I have a problem with is how we are going to resolve issues such as racism, abortion, mercy killing, cloning, etc… Obviously there are extremes on how to approach these social issues in either party, but I think that these issue are what most Americans care about…well, besides making sure they have a job of course.
At the rate at which this economy is moving – jeez…..it is really scary. I feel like we are about to hit a bubble again, if not in one. With all the people currently out of work, I am quite sure most would think that I am on drugs or something. I won’t complain tho….knock on wood. So far, I’ve met a few financial goals. Pretty much have recovered from the bubble bust a few years ago and back in the black albeit slightly.
My saving grace, I suppose, was to continue buying through this whole thing. Motorola has been really good to me and has really carried my financial sack for the most part. Feeling really positive now.
Will be looking into some Asian stock a friend of mine just gave me to check out. He told me that he bought Philip Morris (MO), you know those guys who sell cigarettes, and put out ads on the harm that smoking can cause?….well, apparently they have a foothold in China and the Chinese are smoking up a storm….hhmmm….could this be the 3rd Opium War…..hhmmm.
