Rich, I think you nailed it with the "kick the can can" :-)

Quite honestly I did not have a good feeling after the Greek elections...I wanted to but I suspected the election was a ploy, a tactic by the government to get a little more time. But I was totally surprised at the speed at which this new agreement with the EU bankers came to be. I trust governments about as much as I trust banks and Goldman Sachs....and Monsanto.

Catherine, I had to look up the word "insouciant"! You feel things so deeply but I can see it takes a toll on you. I find for myself when I become too much at the affect of things, I have to do something spontaneous and silly to lighten myself up. I have often wondered if every human being on the planet all started laughing at the same time, wouldn't the vibrations of joy help shatter the illusions.

Ben, that was an interesting read about the holistic perspective to commerce: the whole rather than the individual parts. I kind of close my ears to mainstream religion, but perhaps I need to keep one ear open :-)
