The Outrage Stays The Same
What is that they say about the definition of insanity? What is that they say about the definition of insanity? Sorry about repeating myself, but I know i have asked this question at some point in the past.
Insanity is having the same information set with all of the same players involved working on the same problem in the same way and expecting an outcome that is somehow different from the time before. On a small scale this is what happens when we tell our kids to make their beds.
On a large scale, we have Washington and the economic crisis that we now face.
On the smaller scale, which is where we live, the debate about executive pay, executive bonuses and the naming rights of a stadium seem to usurp the debate over the bigger picture items such as TARP and the solvency of a nation.
As always the politicians will key on, and focus on, those topics that they think their constituency will focus on. The reality is that at the end of the day it is the big picture items mentioned above that had better be resolved fast.
As an update, my personal senators, congressman, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have not given me any kind of response or feedback regarding my letter asking why they cannot put their own agenda behind ours for a change! Sphere: Related Content
