Time @ recall 101

            Having to deal with recalls in a global economy is not the easiest thing to do.  The latest auto recalls however, coming on the demise of three quarters of the American auto industry, is one that many Americans are finding particularly hard to take. Appreciating the fact that anything we want to buy can be made anywhere in the world and that he who makes whatever that is, is doing it the cheapest way, has come to mean as of late that we loose again and again.  And it is something we don’t seem to be getting used to no matter how often it happens.

Time in a house with no roof

       Imagine if you will, a house without a roof. Add to that the fact that no one temporarily living there seems concerned that the roof is gone. I should also add that the residents do not own the house and are paid by the owners full room and board and living expenses. Furthermore, the residents appear to only be concerned about things such as picture placement in the rooms and the quality of the china they eat their meals on.  When the owners do come around the inhabitants seldom even make note of the visit. Now the question is, whose fault is it that the house has no roof? Welcome to the legislative branch of the American government and the fault that the house has no roof is yours!

Time pushing a camel through the eye of a needle

             Granted, many won’t realize what really has transpired regarding the Supreme Court’s recent decision to give Corporations their voting rights, until the next election commercials start arriving. But in boardrooms around the United States budgets are being adjusted between lobbying and advertising to reflect the change in spending that is set to take place. The Corporate point of view is about to get its day in court and the results will be very obvious to all.   If you suddenly find yourself not noticing the difference between a commercial to buy something and a commercial to get you to think politically, not to worry; you won’t be alone.

Time supremely screwed

            The Supreme Court decision to resurrect the voting rights of corporate America from the tomb and to dictate to free standing voters of this country to move over; that non living entities are voters too, should not have come as a surprise to anyone. While tea party candidates and bus loads of people drive off to Washington in long lines protesting tax spending and the rights of the unborn, corporate America has been paying attention to what really counts; who controls the ballot box!
