May you live in interesting times....

From an ancient Chinese curse.. "May you live in Interesting Times"

I believe we do

At a time of global financial difficulty and political uncertainty, times have never been so interesting.

Since the year 2000, when the threat of the millennium bug threatened to wipe our technological existence, to 2009 when the first African American president entered the White house. I can think of no time in the history of man that has had a largest pattern of activity.

The communists must be smirking now as our capitalist society crumbles into a recession, its a desperate time for the retail and leisure market.

As we see many people losing their livelihood it is truly the time to humble.

However as the ordinary Joe suffers for the incompetance of the fat cat, I beleive it should be the government's duty to take control of this terrible situation.

In America the hope of better future as Obama comes to power can be seen on the nation's faces. It's sad to say that Britian doesn't feel as secure, and with one blow after another our nation is crumbling. Rejected by Europe and resented by America, we stand alone to correct the mess we have made.

Interesting Times comes at a price, and though many will look back on this period of hsyteria in the history books we have to question, what brought us here?

I think many of us will know the answer to that.
