Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.

Cruel, cruel winter. Also Very sick. Recovering so slowly, from relapse only, yet so eager to change the world. Anyway, THIS AMERICAN LIFE which airs tomorrow on some NPR stations http://www.thisamericanlife.org, did a great basic intro to the EURO CRISIS - very user friendly and easy to digest. (I never tire of hearing any angle on these econ issues). But WHY T.A.L. is doing a show about Europe dunno - oh, oh yes, it's supposed to collapse the global economy, again. (More on that stuff later). Even though I recommend listening to this great intro, I must say that the corporate-media taboos were not at all mentioned: THE ROLE OF GOLDMAN-SACHS, THE IMF (MORGAN-CHASE), EUROBONDS, CHINA, AND HOW THE US FED RESCUED EUROPE (WHICH I HAD PREDICTED!) WITH A FUNNY-MONEY LOAN OF 1 TRILLION, (ALLOWING THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANKS TO LOAN OUT $10 TRILLION), WHICH WE US CITIZENS ALL PAY FOR IN INFLATION, TAXES, AND ETC.

I lost most of today, yesterday, ad infinitum. Been mostly working on saving energy/heat/money, trying to purify the crappy air here, and trying to muffle the noise from downstairs, other than being sick all the time. So, put up curtains, blocked vents, set up humidifier/"filter", etc. Just a moment ago, I looked into GRAND FORKS as a place to move to, before I flee to Winnipeg, home of Winnie the Peg. Grand Forks has a university, in/near "progressive" states, but apparently is DISASTER CITY. There are about 2.7 disasters for every resident, and that's not even counting anchor babies.
