I would like to thank all of who responded to my last post. It is nice to know that I would be welcomed back. I was truly touched, and each of you know just I touched I can be.
Yet before I return I think it would be wise to first explain where my head it at. Since last I was posting regularly here, I have the mail facility where I had worked at for the past 20 years, is closing and I was excessed to another, small facility. My new jobs sucks. The facility is flooded with mail and we are so far behind that we have to work 60 hours a week. I work, I sleep, I sleep, I work. On my one day off I am trying to read as much as I can concerning all things political and economical. I am trying, as best as my simple abilities will allow me to do one thing-to understand why are things the way that they are in the world.
Yes, I know that this sounds Quixotic on many levels, but that is where my head is at not. And given my compulsive nature, to which all of have been unwilling victims to, it is hard for me to divide my passions. I would also state that even though it sounds like I am complaining about my current condition, I can honestly say , despite being tired all the time, I am happier now than I have been in awhile. It is as if I have taken some small measure of control over my life and by understanding more about how the system works (at least in my opinion), I can try and be more proactive than reactive.
I don't know if I am making any sense, but it makes sense to me.
To give further insight into my mind (spoiler alert), I have provided a link, which I find both illustrates where my head is at, and in which direction my mind's weathervane points.
www.zcommunications.org/heres-how-the-capitalist-scam-works-let-government-borrow-for-crisis-bailouts-then-insist-cuts-pay-for-them-guess-who-loses-by-richard-d-wolff.html
Now I do not post this link to begin a great political/economic debate, I have been there and I have done that. I am not here to question anyone's core beliefs. I am merely trying to give each of you an honest look into where I am at now.
I can still drop by ever so often, but, since I am not watching the games, I would be about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Yet, it would be rude of me not to accept your combined generous offer.
So, thanks again.
