Expediency Does Not Solve Problems

Is it asking too much of people on both the pro and con side of an issue, to listen and understand the opposing viewpoint? Finding workable solutions to the problems that face our world today will be no easy task, but we must find them. The question is - does it have to be TODAY? Is there no room or time for discussions? Blindly running head long into a problem could just make it worse. All sides need to set aside their party agendas and start getting it through their heads that this crisis isn't about them and their needs, it's about a world economy falling apart and the helpless that need help.

There is not a nation on the face of the earth that hasn't suffered by the hands of greedy people - be it political leaders, military war lords, business owners or private citizens. So, how are the world leads going to handle this crisis? Each nation has always touted itself as having the best approach to everything. Who is going to bend?

We hear how the whole world is in crisis, but how bad is it? I guess you need to consider who is doing the talking. How do we know if what is being reported is true or just propaganda to get us whipped into a frenzy, taking to the streets with a false message? We witnessed this during WWII, anyone that wanted to call themselves a good citizen spouted the hate language that would keep them safe. There was no talking it over and making nice.

We need to be careful how fast we run into a good plan - it might not be all that good.
