Biking Nerd

So I’ve pretty much transitioned from my urban life (working and living in Denver) to a suburban life in Greenwood Village…hey its for the kids!  One habit that I refuse to give up is riding my cruiser (bike) as much as possible….to work, meetings pretty much everything.  So as I ride my bike through the [...]

Fundamental Shiftist

Fundamental Shiftist….hmm?  To go along with the MANY changes that are going in the world (and all of them are not financial), many people are changing their views on life in general and how we individually live them.  We are experiencing fundament shifts in how we earn, save and interact with one another, humans may [...]

Just Nationalize Already!

Just nationalize the US banking system already. With reports of the “Good Bank”, “Bad Bank” concept falling apart due to asset pricing issues, instead of beating our heads against the wall to figure it out…just nationalize. It is a much easier solution to this mess.

Letter to the Big Three

So now you got what you wanted (well at least $17.4 billion of it). So now it’s up to your management, the workers and the UAW to make this right. There are many of us (including myself) who feel you don’t deserve this. The legacy of the car industry will be used [...]

My Response

Below is my response to the mass email I received, launched from a McCain supporter.  The back and forth has sparked some good discussion.

Coincidence?

I’m half way through the FDR biography written by Jean Edward Smith.  I’m in the meat of th book which describes FDR’s election for Governor of New York in 1929 and the Presidency in 1932.  The period of time, of course, is uncomfortable similar to today…as I mentioned in my previous posts.  
Roosevelt made a [...]
