Perspective

Now that healthcare has passed with the President's signature, time to stand back and take a more expansive perspective. There is no doubt that the time has arrived for this country to experience a change. The president and congress symbolize this by passing healthcare in the current form. The positive is that those who have been complacent and letting others rule their lives have been pushed to action. This is what allows democracy to be strong, having its citizens be active participants in the ruling process. As time passes, we will experience what is in this healthcare bill. There is no one person who understands the breadth and scope of its impact. As it unfolds, use the impact to scrutinize your own life to see if you are living in a way that best serves you, your family, your relatives, and this planet. Stand up for what is important to you and your life path. If you don't know what that is, use this legislation as a signpost to point the way.

Again, I commend Google for not participating in China's censoring of its people. I welcome those companies and people who put their integrity before money and profits when there is a conflict between the two.

A new wrinkle to the housing market which has yet to reach bottom is Bank of America taking the lead to reduce the principle amount of mortgages of struggling home owners up to 30 % of the principle of the mortgage. I am sure other banks will follow their lead. Watch the FDIC. They closed 7 banks last Friday; the highest weekly rate of closures this year. Momentum is under way.
