The Portland Zoo, Japanese Gardens, and Rose Gardens..reflective of consistent excellence
Went to the zoo today with family. Then took the zoo train to the Rose gardens, followed by a guided tour of
the Japanese gardens.
All reflect/represent programs that produce fantastic results for the funds, efforts expended.
At all three locations, not only did my family and I enjoy our time, but also got to watch people from every walk of life enjoying their time as well.
The free tours at the Japanese Gardens... wonderful...what beauty..such enjoyment from all the participants. Special.
CSM
I posted the
above because I found the well run programs, and the management of their particular financial programs an uplifting example/experience..it can be done.

Foreign purchase of United States long term securities begin to drop
Well another shoe may be in the process of dropping. It has been reported that foreign purchase of long term
U.S. securities dropped in May.
In order to keep being able to turn over our national debt, and run
deficits like we have been, the U.S. needs to be able to either continue to sell additional of these securities, as well as "role over" primary amounts.
In order to keep foreign investors purchasing, the U.S.
may be forced to raise the rate of return on these securities..This may/will require that taxes within the U.S.
are raised.
With factual unemployment running perhaps as high as 20 plus %...well...
Need to stay
the course.....clock is ticking Foot race is clearly under way.
Can new economic system be put into place though international negotiation before wheels come of bus??
Can U.S. executive branch, congress... counter
special interests and emplace needed reforms in health care, military, prisons ect
Freeing up trillions??
of $$$ in a timely enough fashion to positively impact the situation discussed above??

Another question: Media Relationship to Movie "Idiocracy"
Question: How does/do media influences relate to the movie "Idiocracy"?
Answer: 1.) As posted
the relationship is as follows..
The failure of primary/major media source "managers/operators/producers"
to treat their various mediums with the respect the resource deserves has contributed, in my opinion, to the dumbing down of human society.
The dumbing down, or growth of societal ignorance factors has been a
topic of growing editorial dialog/debate.
The movie "Idiocracy" is, in my opinion, a pretty
direct parody of our current societal direction...Played out to disastrous comedic conclusions.
Let
us read between the lines of the question and look at how media has contributed to this condition.
Answer:
2.) Media is an educational/cultural impactor..capable of directing human societal developments. easily used for
propaganda purposes that can be of a harmful or beneficial nature.
A failure of media can be offset
by a healthy, enlightened national educational program.. Something that in the U.S. has been being systematically
destroyed...but thats another issue..but has been contributory to the current situation being discussed here.
We can see three things that stand out as contributory to media not serving the needs of humanity.
The need for profitability under existing rules.. The failure of our national school systems. Regulatory failure,
such as the removal of the "Fairness Doctrine".
To be continued......
