I am an optimist.
The glass is more than half full.
Our financial and social structure has tremendous critical mass that will get us out of almost any problem that we get ourselves into.
Wars, famines, plagues, natural disasters, religious ideology, corrupt and evil political leaders have had very little impact on the forward motion of our society...over the long run.
They have all had an impact on the short run....especially if you are in their path of destruction, but in the long run, we have made incredible advances..... and we will continue to make great advances.
20 years from now we will be talking about companies that started and took advantage of the current financial and political situation...... we might also be talking about the positive impact that the earthquake in Haiti, the iran and Korean Nuclear technology, or even drilling deep water oil wells did for the future.
Because of the Nukes and oil drilling.....maybe we push Fusion Technology along quicker and eliminate the need for giant power stations? Becasue of Haiti maybe someone discovers a new cure for some disease that reduces worldwide healthcare costs?
In the short run...banks will close.....the market will go up and down......and I will continue to grow hair out of my ears.....but I am an optimist!
Medical advances will have a DNA gene therapy for diseases (and hair).... and people will get rich off the stock.
Energy discoveries will change how and what we consume for power......and people will get rich off the stock.
Technology advances in communications will change and Jim's cell phone will work in Melbourne Beach...... and people will get rich off the stock.
We are not at the end of the road to prosperity....We are not at the end of the road of oil, clean air, clean water, cheap gas, ethical people, silly blogs....
We are at the beginning of an incredible new chapter of opportunity with scientific advances that will make our heads spin.....
I am excited to be a witness to an incredible future!!!
