Connect the Dots…….Follow the money.

As yet unconfirmed by the meditating monks but otherwise completely logical.

Can Obama Save Capitalism?

Original article, and editorial, via Socialist Appeal (US):

The capitalist system may well be suffering the worst crisis in its history. According to George Soros, billionaire investor and frank analyst of the system he defends, the world financial system has in effect disintegrated and there is no possibility of a near-term resolution to the crisis. He believes that the turbulence is in fact worse than during the Great Depression and that the current crisis is equivalent to the collapse of the Soviet Union. As he recently told an audience at Columbia University: “[Capitalism] was placed on life support, and it’s still on life support. There’s no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom.”

Harry Chapin, and life…

well, health problems still exits, for those who know me.

I now have a broken heart. The woman I was married to waited until we were in Colombia to demand a divorce, as we were in her mother’s house. My son’s name is harry, he turned six last week.

I feel… empty.

Harry was named in part for my father and grandfather, but also for Harry Chapin.

Let me offer this, and also say that I really need comments.

anywhere’s a better place to be.

Cheers.

And peace.

XXX update: for those who asked, privately, the tickr gives me problems. One major heart attack, and about 17 ‘infarctions.’ Not the same as a broken heart.
