While I'm not nearly as disgusted as Det, I agree that the adage: "Think globally, act locally" is appropriate. Take good care of your own family, neighborhood, and work place, and things will usually work out for the best at a much broader level. When you blame Labour or Conservatives, Republicans or Democrats, be sure that you have a better alternative.
The world runs in cycles, economics, hem lines, sun-spots, ice ages. We'll get through this one too. A new group of leaders will replace the current batch and the pendulum will swing the other way. Consider all the past disasters that we have survived, all the changes we've adapted to - we'll get through this period too. Does anyone really want to go back to the 50s, or 1890s, whenever the "Good Olde Days" were?
And Bilko, why not post something amusing or inspiring once in a while? Help keep Det's blood pressure down.
