not much to say (or so i thought)

its funny you know but i sometimes sit in front of the computer and wonder what i might say to that small group of people who sometimes wander through this blog. Over the past few weeks it has been a real struggle and i am not sure why. it seems that i may not be alone as some of my blogger "buddies" also appear to be afflicted by the same malaise.

but then i sat here a bit longer and i thought this (i didnt expect that to paraphrase S Cowell)

is anyone out there "worried" about what is happening in the global economy? I am now starting to get a bit concerned about what the next 2-3 years might hold for all of us.

My instinct is that it is not going to be pretty and we are all going to experience a "once in a life time" event (if you werent around in the mid 1930s and perhaps in the 40s). it now looks to me that the global economy - despite increasingly desperate efforts by a host of governments - is going to go to "hell in a hand basket" in many if not all of the major economies. This will change our societies and will influence all of us either directly or indirectly.

if you are young, now is a good time to pay attention (and learn the inevitable lessons). you may actually be young enough to see another one of these global meltdowns in 20-30 years once "we" recover from this one.

no matter what happens the world is going to become a different place (and damn quick) for many people and i dont necessarily mean better. However, that said there will be some incredible opportunities arising out of this debacle.

I think i might just go and plant a few vegetables (kidding)
