Implications

An interesting article by Oliver North on what could be for the world financial system of the future.

The New World Financial Order

Imagine the extended control governments will have not only over business and commerce, but individual constituents in the future. This is no small thing to consider - the global and very personal implications are huge. I think this past election has re-energized my belief that the constituency needs to be intimately acquainted with decisions government makes on their behalf. What this means for me is that I need to be more involved and ensuring that I use the freedom of my voice to challenge and encourage leaders of our great nation.

Parking People

When walking around the city or near my house I often think of the parking people. Rarely will they make eye contact with others and I'm guessing it's because they're the "enforcers" and aren't the most popular kids on the playground. This morning, I grabbed my favorite tea from the BCC (lemon poppy seed muffin top, too!) and rounded a corner, office bound. There, I encountered a parking person and made my best effort to 'stare' her down (in a nice way!) simply for the purpose of smiling at her and saying, "Good morning." She seemed surprised! :)

Here's to more happy encounters with PP! Hopefully she has a good day.
