Something to share.

Hey guys just saw this on craigslist, i thought it was really interesting and i believe every part of it except for the person's idea of a solution, which unfortunately is a little unrealistic.

"You may think this post doesn't belong on the CL artist section. But it does. It does because art is about commerce, at least in some respects. So this morning I'm watching Good Morning America and one of their guest is a guy called Mort Zuckerman..He is an economist reporting for USA today. He tells the country that the economy sucks and its going to get a lot worse. Gee---ya think that's going to make things better! The dollar is only worth only a minuscule fraction of a cent. Its a piece of paper with a picture of a dead president on it .Its value is entirely based on faith. It buys only what we think it can buy. So people listen to these 'so called experts' and they become afraid. The stock market goes down. People don't spend money Their 401k tanks. People loose jobs. It would be good if you could write your local politician and ask them to put a stop to this negativity ,but that is not their job. Freedom of press and all. However there is something you can do! Politicians cant do this--but we can. Here's a radical thought. TELL THE MEDIA TO STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE ABOUT THE ECONOMY! Email them--Tell them you don't want to see the Mort Zuckermans of the world telling us we have no hope. If GMA reported, lets say "The economic outlook for this year is going to be outstanding"---It would be--- Its all a matter of faith in our fellow human beings Trust me---If we call them, email them,write them with snail mail-- .they will listen If you like this idea, please send it on."


Let me know what you think!
