So, a place to post my mind. I know -- I'm only a few years behind the times on this one, but the idea of speaking my mind while before now was kind of scary. Since I'm now living and working in New York, I am less afraid of offending people. Must also have something to do with my age.
What will I talk about? Well, I think I should say something about the title of my blog. I apologize if anyone is offended by the title. It wasn't intended to be a racial statement of any sort. It's merely a comment on the fact that I may occasionally say something that's either politically incorrect, insensitive or offensive -- or all three!
Where to start?
How about the current state of the union? Who has the best ideas for creating jobs? I'm not convinced that any of the interested parties actually know what they're talking about. Our president is too weak, and many of the other principals are compromised because of allegiances to either corporate or extremist politics.
What do we do? I think we need to change the corporate mindset that looks for new employees outside of the country. I think that American citizens need to be a little more realistic in their desires for material goods. I think we need to train people to take on the new jobs that will develop as the 21st Century continues to unfold.
Not sure if this makes sense, but I wanted to say something while my mind was still focused.
