Here's A Twist to Oil

Now all countries are feeling the squeeze of the mighty oil producing countries. So, how do we economically make a difference? Consumption reduction woudl ultimately be the answer but lets face it. Unless the buying world (of oil) went to a 3 day work week for six months we are not going to reduce our consumption patters quickly. So, what can we do?

It's all about offesets. The rise in energy costs has triggered a domino effect towards the price of food and services. Since most everything we do requires some form of transportation to transact the increae in fuel creates higher prices from Farming to Retailing. All forms of manufacturing is effected. So what do we do?

Well, one thing most of the oil producing countries lack is our Support systems. We can produce food. We can produce technology. We need to stop providing annual Monetary Support to all Oil Producing Countries. No more Subsidies. When they call on us for humanitary services such as food or use of our Military well that's going to cost $400 a barrel of fuel. Start to get the picture now? If our government just started charging for what we do as goodwill in general we could push back on these money sucking countries and teach them a lesson in economics unforseen in all these years of us providing our Military Support and Food Bank help.

No more. Sorry to their citizens but this is war. We didn't start this we will finish this.

Buy Local

When I first saw "buy local" in the paper I was thinking Domestic versus International. Labor fights here we come. On a deeper dive it was far from this. With the growing epidemic in the rising fuel costs it makes sense to influence the buying of the major chains by going to those that buy their goods locally.

So, instead of buying your veggies from Safeway that imported them from another state find a local producer who sells to your neighborhood. Why? The fuel cost once again. The local grower will have a much lower cost of goods sold. If we buy more from them they will produce more when their sales trends pick up.

This will have a trickle down effect as well. The supermarkets are all about image. When we start buying from the locals they too will find more effficient ways to bring product to the market and take advantage of a trend on the rise.

The more of us that think like this the better we all will be in the long run.

Nutritional Awareness

As we begin to enter the summer months we have so much on our minds. The economy is in the dumps and housing seems to be heading downward still. A bottom must be there somewhere but when and where is anywone's guess. The airlines have cutback their planes and offerings to minimize cost during an epic run up in the price of fuel just when the high season for family travel is starting.

The impacts are wide spread. So what to do? Well, if you are like most you are probably staying close to home this year to presever your savings and minimize your costs in an uncertain world. Well, why not focus on Nutrtional Values.

Your Vote Counts

Well after the obvious became reality we now have a Presidential Election to manage through. Hillary has finally figured out that the points do matter and Math is what it is. For some reason I was a bit nervous that the Clinton math might be slightly different than the rest of the world's way of adding and subtracting.

Well, she gave it a novel effort. Take away the lies of bullet attacks in Bosnia and then her most recent brilliant move to bring up the Robert Kennedy assassination as a "reason" to stay in the race and there you have it. I confused power hungry individual that wanted her power back and quite frankly knew that if Bill could get away with not telling the truth so could she.

But something happened to the evil princess and her luck ran out. America spoke and we now have Obama vs McCain. Out with the current confusion and welcome....uhhh well in with the New I say.

Frankly, I don't know what is going to happen next. Both of these candidates are arguably not their parties ultimate choice but maybe the second best foot forward. Is this what the most powerful nation on the planet should accept? I say its time to change the rule of the Office of the President. Instead of a maximum of two terms served I say one term of 6 years. In this way we will get a solid 5 years of the elected president instead of the limited role they play inbetween terms and clearly in their final year of office.

We need to get to the bottom of the world's real problems. Energy. Its all about energy folks. If we solve the Energy problems (which we can) then all the world's problems will be solved. All of them. This is and always will be a war of energy between nations. Sure we have religious wars and the fundamentalist who ruin it for most who just want religion for peaceful uses.

So, how do we solve the energy crisis? Water. We have discovered in France a company that has already figured it out folks. Yes, MDI of France is way ahead of the game and has been for over 10 years. Detroit just needs to learn the how and then implement this technology on our core products. It's only emissions are ice cold air. Check them out at MDI on our web site.

Childhood Obesity in The USA May Have Peaked?

Studies coming out of the US Government today state that childhood obesity may have peaked after a 25 year increase year over year. This epidemic has been spiraling out of control until this report and the ramification to our healthcare system and general well being are alarming. There are talks that our entire healthcare system could collapse under the shear numbers of obese pre teens right now. This trend is just that a trend. We need to keep the pressure on and keep these kids moving. Walk them run them exercise them. From the families to the schools we need to reclaim the health and wellness of our children and their children.

Through proper education we can move this trend from a flat curve to a declining curve!!
