    Re: I Wonder

    Things I wonder about today...

    In 50 years, will society look back on "Jersey Shore" and be able to say it has matured?

    Will I ever lose the 25 extra pounds I've been carrying since my hernia surgery 4 years ago?

    Will I ever stop smoking tobacco? At least I'm finally asking the question, but really. It's time.

    Do I REALLY want that iPad I've been visiting at the store every Saturday? I know I don't NEED it, but if I buy one frivolous/usefull toy this year, should it be an iPad? I have already named it and everything! We are bonding more every week.

    How unstable is the world really, vis. the muslim / arabic unrest/revolts / Rush Limburger/Glenn Beckians / North Korea / terrorism stuff, and how violently society-changing are these things going to prove to be over the next 20 years? Are things right now really any worse than the most tense times of the 60's and 70's?

    How is the madness of the addiction-level Facebook updating and 10,000-texts-per-month-preteen status quo going to pan out over the next decade; will these kids have any attention span? Yes, parents said the same things about disco, rock and roll, and television, but this newest shift to virtual 'friending' over real world stuff is much bigger than anything before. Much. (Yes, there are plenty of great kids out there; they are our saving grace in the future).

    And finally... I wonder at how lucky I am, at how RICH I am, at how over-burdened I am with convenience, electricity, a house, food every day, a bank account, shoes; I learned recently that if you make even just 25,000 dollars this year, you are in the top 1% earners of humanity. Hundreds of millions of people, bllions, have rare electricity, no proper plumbing, and questionable access to food. For every person on my street, there are 10 who are barefoot, have no acces to medicine or a doctor, and have to cart water from a distant well for use at home.

    And I complain about falling behind on my natural gas bill and the price of chicken breasts.

    Yeah. I wonder I deserve my riches. If you have running water, you are a wealthy King in the eyes of many.

    Re: I Wonder

    I wonder,
    Why do we wonder?

    Do dogs wonder?
    I guess.
    They wonder when you will get home.
    They wonder why you left.
    But I don't think they wonder why they wonder.

    We seem to wonder about anything and everything that we do not know about.
    Does wondering make us more like cats than dogs?
    If wondering is like curiosity, then perhaps we are more like cats, than dogs.
    I don't think dogs have curiosity.

    If curiosity killed the cat, I wonder if it will kill us.
    Maybe I should stop wondering.
    But I wonder even about that.

    Re: I Wonder

    I love it,

    But I think dogs do wonder, the other day Anglo our dog wondered what would happen if he tried to give Rupert, our cat a playful nudge, he no longer wonders and the blood from his nose stopped in about 10 minutes so it was not to bad.

    I wonder if he will be dumb enough to try it again?

    I wonder,

    Then that night both were curled up next to each other on the floor next to Nelly, our other dog, between my son and I, they just wanted to be close to there family, pack, pride.

    I wonder who is really in charge?

    Governments have intervened in macro-economics since the dawn of history. It's one of the things people want governments to do.

    Of course, the success of these efforts is another matter. The free market is an ideal to which human frailty repeatedly objects. When people aren't as prosperous as they wish, they want someone to change the rules in their favor.

    Let me make this perfectly clear.

    Even enforcement of our current market manipulation laws would be an improvement.
    Punishment must include loss of freedom and not at home with a bracelet. A yet to be designed ultra low security prison for the white collar criminal. And they may serve their time of incarceration with a physically similarly as dangerous inmates as long as there is no "bad behavior". Then to the real prisons. No tennis courts like the Watergate gang. Same food as other prisons. No electronics. No internet. No cellphones. Lots of time to think as it was meant to be. And only old Wall Street Journal copies.
    No need to change any rules, just enforce what we have.

    I am glad that YOU cleared that up for our readership. Now it is PERFECTLY clear what happened in Wisconsin and what almost happened in Indiana.

    In contrast, of course, to the ridiculously super rich, who, when everything is going their way, buy the Republican Party to change the rules even more in their favor. (for example see the Kochs in Wisconsin)
