Whats In Your Wallet?

Sure the sky is falling. All the media pun-dents are screaming, if not outright demanding, for a complete stock market melt down. They scurry out to the street corners like prostitutes gaming their johns but the lure resides in their corporate logos, cameras, microphones and celebrity. Delivering you the gloom and doom with a glorious blond bombshells sensual smile. As you delve into their devilries of delirium that the worst depression since the Great Depression is around the corner, let us keep some sensibilities and review why the Great Depression will not recur.

Cigarette smoking was the norm in the days of the Great Depression. There were no thoughts of going green except marijuana was also still legal to use per se (though the push to make illegal was in process at the time). A vegetarian was usually a word that was misheard in lieu of the like sounding word veterinarian with no further thought other than a snicker. Alaska and Hawaii were not even states and this has a significant economic impact to the current economic state. Hawaii lured Baywatch from California, and Alaska has provided lots of moose and grizzly bears to our now vast national and global economy.

Many other things were different back then. Small differences like no televisions, many still had no indoor bathrooms nor electricity. Neanderthal man was just starting to become extinct. NASA did not exist which means the moon did not exist back then either. Another key element is that many parents did not even exist then.

So as you start to panic and be overcome with dread, simply realize we are almost a no smoking nation today. We are extremely conscious about green things other than money such as saving trees in lieu of jobs or getting marijuana legalized. Most importantly we have gained much wisdom and now realize that monkeys can lead us to Great Derision in 2008. Of course you could go home for the Jewish holidays.
