Long Holiday

Ignoring protests of senior management, have extended my holiday. Hope my job remains. ;)
So what's life like when you raise in the morning, go for a walk, then swim and then to a sauna. And then shopping. Life's good. :) I kno this will not last for long. But let me have fun as long as it lasts.

Before signing off, a cut and paste job.

""Really though, does it matter we're on top? I mean everyone gets the technology eventually so why does it matter who invents it first?"

It matters if you can't afford to buy it because you are suddenly thrust into a lower middle-class by other countries who are reaping the monetary benefits of these new technologies.

"The one thing that we as Americans have is creativity and a society that thrives on it where as China and India have a rigid education structure that stifles creativity."

Creativity is an indulgence. An indulgence you may not be able to afford when you have to work 2 jobs just to feed your family. Americans aren't genetically predisposed to be creative. We just have an economy and government that allows us to relax enough to be able to be creative. Of course, that economy is based on borrowed money.

I don't have the answers, though. Just observations."
