"Mother Earth: The Human Jungle!"

Respectful Dedication Prime Minister Tony Blair

A great Politician of the last decade!

Strange world and even stranger existence for sure. Ephemeral things seem permanent and permanence itself vanishes in a puff. Francis Fukyama's masterpiece should have been named , "The beginning of Jungle History". Jim Corbet the great tiger hunter would have liked it!

Everyone is a master of giving grief to others. America's war on terror is defeating only America's goodwill and the good work that America does the world over. Everything the world over turns into preposterously fraudulent misery. America'a overlapping crisis at home, have forced America to get short sighted and turn nowhere. And there are no easy answers and nobody has any.

The fun of a sinking Euro is over. Euro will emerge stronger. The EU economy is bigger than the US's, and it's less indebted than the USA. For Euro to melt away is silly, wishful projections. One Greece does not a Europe make. Euro has retained it's purchasing power all over Europe. It is normal to default and see bankruptcies!

Emmanuel Saez a Professor of Economics calculates that from 2002 to 2007 the richest 1% of American families accounted accounted for 65% of all income growth. Modern day stresses have soared ! Real and neurotic anxities have grown exponentially. This hormonal problem impacts health issues like heart disease, infertility and cancer.

China has grown into the world's workshop. And internet access has grown as never before , creating the possibility of new ways of sharing insights. The new science is "cognitive surplus" whose wealth creating potential can as yet only be guessed at. But unemployment remains scaringly high and disposable income, tight. With inflation rampant, nothing can be taken for granted. With no turnaround on the horizon, optimism is just plain ignorance.You bet.

Goodnight and best wishes!
