And no promise of a good outcome. Still, it makes me happy to see so many folks willing to do what they can to be the change they want to see, in the face of denial.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757250545116691670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575603731696062553.post-64621884824935939232014-11-02T22:43:34.338-06:002014-11-02T22:43:34.338-06:00Great post, as usual.

There are plenty of posers out there already, we don't need any more.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251330546889158364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575603731696062553.post-61815741705698838862014-11-02T11:20:54.577-06:002014-11-02T11:20:54.577-06:00As I move about friends and family and see the dif...As I move about friends and family and see the different "takes" on our current problems, the consensus is that, indeed, things have changed. What's disturbing is the usual beliefs that things will be as usual buoyed by the price at the pump, some new gizmo, or the hope of the upcoming expenditures of our Xmas season. Doesn't cross into the consciousness that this spending will be not in real money but in increasing debt that most families really can't afford. I am hopeful that with the passage of time, more folks will withdraw from the media blitz long enough to listen to that little nagging voice that says something is amiss and perhaps the nurturing of compassion and community will prove the ultimate reality of our being.Danny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239701610522812113noreply@blogger.com
