What is on my mind "as we move through this very interesting moment in time".

"I am wondering what is on your minds as we move through this very interesting moment in time, full of rapid changes in our world"

Things are just shifting. America was hijacked by Neocons hellbent on Zion at a pivotal time in American History. There is a chance they may recover and Obama certainly seems to offer that chance. If the recent bailout doesn't hold the floodwaters, and the chinese trade in their treasury bills for Euros, they could be doomed. Of course that could be then buoyed by new oil discoveries in the arctic. In Vancouver, we're praying that there are still people who will invest in our real estate in light of how we've fixed all our social problems because the Olympics magically erased everything. We're also banking that India and China are going to buy our timber. Campbell has stitched together some sort of chimera that introduces taxes but also cuts social programs. He's spent billions on a convention centre that could sit empty if there is a recession. Then he's muscled through 2 bridges across the fraser, igoring light rail all together. At least we're making it easier for Alberta money to flow West with TILMA and a nice new freeway through the Kicking Horse Canyon. It also looks like we're going to elect that Conservative Cowboy from Calgary again, as long as we keep cashing in on tar sands. So who knows which way the cards will be dealt. By Christmas we could be at war with Russia because Pootin reared his ugly head. In any event, we will increasingly depend on websites like this and other local media as the spectre of globalism fades and a new localization begins.
