The media are treating the current financial shambles like "the end of the world is coming". If you think that you are fooling yourself. People will still need houses to live in, clothes to wear and food to eat and the multitude of things that they require to continue their lives.We have to be a lot more cautious with our selection of goods but at least we will see the end of a lot of rubbish that has clogged our stores and warehouses.. How many of you are optimists?If you are one, tell people! The prophets of gloom will NOT inherit the earth if we can keep looking for the good things. Life IS still good if you exercise you mind and look for the values that we were taught by our parents. After all, they lived through a depression and that experience made them better people , more able to cope with daily problems using their intelligence instead of running to the government every time that they sneezed! Think positive and keep smiling, it will confuse the hell out of the doom sayers!!!
