Conspicuously Quiet

For the past few weeks, I have been conspicuously quiet as world events have unfolded. Like a good sports television broadcaster who knows when to let the action do the talking, I have chosen to let events speak for themselves. And, oh, what events! From the passage of a health care bill, to the demise of the European Union, from Middle East taunts, to allied snubs, all contributing to the steady erosion of personal freedom.

One could think viewing the U.S. stock market that its business as usual, the worst is behind, and Obama Nation is masterfully leading us into the 21st century. Obama Nation is leading us into the 21st century, but the word “masterfully” is in the eye of the beholder. On the world stage, there are sometimes moments in history when earth-shattering and long-lasting events unfold. This is one such period. Economics, stock markets, and even our everyday lives adjust to the reality of events at their own pace. But make no mistake, they all adjust. In this instance, whether it’s a Greek citizen, an Israeli response, or the New York Stock Exchange, all will emerge differently from what one expects.

Quiet time is over. Let the games begin.

Till next time,

Bill
