It is a source of great pride among many English historians that English companies were in the vanguard of developing and protecting the well being and rights of its workers. It is one of many reasons that this country is so wonderful. It is what made it so livable and wealthy. Wealth and prosperity are spurred by exploiting creativity and opportunity. We never know who will discover what, where and what they will apply it to. England and America were the early adapters of these liberal ideas. Whenever conservatives attempted to confine the ability to generate wealth to a small sector of the society, it has gone terribly wrong. It happened in America in the 50s and 2000s and in England in the 70s and 80s and is threatening to happen again.
It seems to me that too many brilliant and well meaning people have been involved in the development of the Euro for it to be tossed away as 'bull'. Just because it is being attacked doesn't mean that it will fall. Sports and markets show us many examples of how persistence in the face of what appears to be insurmountable odds bring victory. This is my hope for the Euro.
The sun is shining and it is warm here. The light is dazzling as I sip dark coffee from my steaming cup.
