Taking the long View.



It sure feels good enjoying the cool crisp Autumn sunshine and savoring the last days before the snow comes. Here in western NY we don't feel the push and pull of Wall street nearly as much as we feel the change in the seasons and the wind that comes from the west across the tops of the ridges between us and Lake Erie. When I tell new friends on line I live in New York they always think I live close to New York City. The "Big Apple" is 400 miles away and culturally as far as Asia. That big apple has had a big old green worm drilling under its flesh for a long time and it was just a matter of time before its ugly head broke through the rosy skin and exposed itself. The culture of greed has been festering for two decades at least. Please someone tell me what is the difference between gaming on the Seneca Reservation and playing the stock market? I don't see it. Why should the foolishness of the Investment Banks and Wall Street dictate to those of sound mind living in America and working and doing their part as citizens? I say reform needs to go far deeper than some safe guards to keep Banks from going astray again. I think the economy needs to be weaned from the volatile stock market. Let's hope it doesn't take another great depression for America to come to its senses.
