Here in Michigan where unemployment has soared to record highs, foreclosed homes are on every block and not just the ones owned by Union workers being laid off by the Big Three. Many homes in foreclosure are/were owned by people with unbelievable experience and with a solid educational background who were either in a supportive industry to the Automotive, or were self-employed with their own company as a supplier or their company had a supportive role to Automotive. Even with a small percentage invested in that arena right now can take a company out because they are not getting paid for work done months ago (that they have already laid out the money to pay employees, benefits and company expenses while they waited faithfully to be paid) and the government is suggesting the Big Three file bankruptcy. Are we all nuts! The Big Three would be sound, financialy, but anybody that could of bought a vehicle, will be living in a box in a local park! Any way….we must try to remember to pull together, help each other, help your neighbor if you can and never give up!

And lastly if you are as overwhelmed as I am by the Negative articles, gloom and doom always given to us in the news and newspapers to the point I cannot pick them up and read them, nor can I watch the news often without wondering… because of all the horrible events occurring, according the the news media…why more people aren’t committing suicide like they did in the great depression? Could it be because the newspapers are sensationalizing for sales ( and we are reacting to it by not buying anything making this whole thing worse) or is that why the drug companies are so filthy rich…because we are all on anti-depressants just to handle it because of the media?!!!LOL …Seriously….I seem to only be able to digest one paper right now and that is the Monroe Evening News.

“I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.”  Thomas Jefferson

What amazes me about these quotes are that they still hold true today! They were written so long ago…but the man seemed to have not only a looking glass into the soul of man…but a true grasp as to the snares that lay before that man in government.

Try to have a Historical Day!

A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money!

Sound familiar??????????

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

I like this one, and been exercising it alot lately. When I know I’m right and that it is the moral thing to do….I do not waiver, regardless of the unpopularity of the decision. I guess that makes me the one swimming upstream. Not fun,,, but necessary sometimes.

Have a historical day!

“History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.”

Sounds like this was said about the times we live in right now. That leads me to believe that even financial ruin is cyclical. Once the generation dies out that lived through it, or we retire all the people who have the experience because we think they are too costly to have around, it repeats itself. I would like to challenge all large corporations to keep at least a few of our experienced executives around for a long time….even if it costs you larger salaries than your newly graduated brains, just so these people can be the thorns in the younger generations side, and remind them of what just happened. I think it would cost everyone alot less in the long run.

What do you think?

Have a Historical Day!

“Human History becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe”

I guess the logic in this is a company, communities and government due to being conscious of their bottom line first and foremost, pushes the experienced and aged out the door, at some point, quickly. “Out with the old and in with the new.” My boat club just recently did that. Now the new board members�are all young, with new ideas. But, many of the so called “new ideas” have been tried in the past, in some form, they (we) are just too young to remember. My point is every board, every division of every company and branch of law needs the older generation because of their experience. Companies should spend a little more for that experience to avoid spending more money later when everything goes to hell due to inexperience. I believe history tells us this country, for example, has gone through�economical rough times�before even in the housing industry…what did we learn from it, and where are those people to stear us out of this�or their memoirs for our politicians to study? There are some lessons and protocol that could be duplicated from within the fireside recordings from a prior president….can you tell me who that is?????????

We’ll talk more on this subject and those records. Much can be learned!!!!!

Make it a Historical Day!!!!!!!!!!

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government strong enough to take everything you have!”

We need to remember, our forefathers never wanted the Federal Government to be the most powerful, that takes the power from our hands. That is why no matter which state votes in to leagalize medical marijuana, there will still be arrests, because it is not a Federal law. Federal law states�medical marijuana�is not legal,�therefore it is not legal period, and arrests will still be carried out. We have done this to ourselves�when we allowed our leaders to�change our government�and allow the Federal Government to be the main power in this country.� This began with the end of the Civil War as a condition ( so to speak) for the South to rejoin the Union (the articles of confederation were dissolved: a document that explained the conditions under which every state agreed to be united.) After that time, the Federal Government�became the supreme power, now�followed by the media, then the states, and then us,�somewhere toward the bottom because they need us to pay for everything, including their lunches when more and more people�are failing to�feed their families. This has got to stop….it is already wheeling out of control.

Make it�a Historical Day!!!

“And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.”

We are making our government stronger and stronger and we are becoming more and more dependent on it. That is NOT what our forefathers intended!

Hopes this gives you food for thought.

Have a historical day!
