Howdy, Howdy, -- it’s the second half of 2009… and we’re a-rarin’ to go down the second half. –
We want to get through it as quickly as possible. All the pundits are saying the ‘recovery’ won’t be here until the second half of 2009. Whatta you think?
HOMER over in Playfair says – he’d be glad to make the next 100 days shorter than the last 100… wouldn’t be so much chance for mischief. And I’m sure the folks who are out of work would be glad to get back to work (for the most part at least) ASAP. The only folks I’ve talked to who would like to see time stretch out a little are the students [and the faculty] who really aren’t looking forward to going into the next school year having to do more with less. They tell me this isn’t exactly the kind of change they were hoping for. Maybe they ought to check on the NEA – Teacher’s Union – it’s second largest in the nation.
Well – “If wishes were horses …” Perhaps we’d learn faster. Seems right now we have to learn the hard way… through experience. To those who say “Experience is the best teacher…” I would respond as rapidly as possible: “She ought to be – look what she charges.” I don’t know if that’s an old Jack Benny or Johnny Carson joke… either way it’s old and time to retire.
In any case we’re on a voyage of discovery… we’ve never had the prospect of being this deeply in debt as a nation before… If it’s all the same to you, I think I’d just as soon forego the lesson. But I don’t think we’re being given much of a choice at present. I heard one or two talk show hosts comparing the way they count votes in
Well… let’s pull up our socks and get out of this mess ASAP. The American people have been in tough scrapes before – perhaps we’re weaker in some ways – but it’s up to those who are part of the remnant – who remember the strength of the old days and where it came from to hark back there – and apply the remedy. Trust God and beg for HIS mercy.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
