Someplace in the world there has to be a place listing and describing some of the good and bad things in the world.  In addition I need a spot to rant about things that really piss me off.

Ideas

bullet

Lets make people accountable for their actions.

bullet

Ask for Clarity and transparency in both Business and Government.

bullet

Ask 'What is the Job of Government' from those that seek office.  Then see if they live by it.

bullet

Socially Liberal, Fiscally conservative

bullet

When is a company liable for the behavior of its employees? Certainly if the president and board of directors set a course for the company, that is one thing, but what if an employee manager breaks some law.  If the corporation tries to prevent the crime certainly they should not be responsible for the aberrant actions of one employee.  But what if it is a cabal of senior managers? 

 

Rants

bullet

How is running a big deficit considered helpful of the economy?

bullet

Gas is too cheap.  The real cost to society of all the gas guzzlers is not being accurately represented by the cost of the vehicle and the gas it burns.

bullet

You can not have it both ways.  For example people criticize Microsoft for not paying attention to security needs while at the same time demanding more interoperability and ease of use.  The two goals are at odds with one another.   If you want a safe machine, never download applications, connect the machine to the internet or especially double click on an attachment!

Raves or Kudos

bullet

Alan Greenspan may not be quite the wizard some make him out to be, but I think overall he has done a great job at the Fed.  The biggest problem is that most politicians only listen to those aspects of his speeches they want to. I.E. Pay down the debt first!
