Venting...

I generally prefer to count our blessings, but ever once in awhile I will vent my frustrations...

The "Thumb Generation" is better connected and able to "ACCESS" more information than any previous generation, but from what I read they can't "ASSESS" the information as well... And Corporate America continues to focus on the short term rather than building for the future - I think mainly due to the short lifespan of CEO's. It's not the housing/mortgage market et al, but the corporate greed driving our economy down. The news media continues to sell the news as entertainment creating the Matt Louer effect - "if Matt says so, it must be true." And my biggest pet pieve, MARKETING in this country continues to sell the "Experience" with no attempt to educate the public as to their products features/benefits and then there's the focus on incremental marketing of goods from cable TV to the culture fad of cell phone experience that counters free enterprise and, again, contributes to nothing more than greed. Unlock the phones and sell service at a reasonable price. And finally, walk the walk. Don't just talk the talk about providing service - even McDonald's assoicates aren't what they used to be.

SIGH!

Keep it fun!
