Assuming is a way of life
For vested interests in a bind
But too many mistakes are made
For the world to have peace of mind.

They call it a world wide economic crisis.

very well written. This piece, though short has said so much about these times and the greed, or the lack of concern by those who have been elected to run the show. It also says much about those involved in high finance, how we the people are so often forgotten and left to wade in the puddles while they enjoy themselves. Thank you so much for such an inspirational piece of work.

It's a sad indictment of the Govt concerned that such activities were allowed to continue for so long. Many thanks for your great ommments.

Words of wisdom indeed, Bob. Well put.

I wish there was some way to make the corporate heads pay the price for their greed and the mistakes they make. Your comments are appreciated, every time.

Many thanks, kind sir. I am forever of the opinion that big corporations are too greedy in their persuit of the almighty dollar. It's great pity that those who made the wrong decisions and created the mess don't have to personally clean it up.

Very true! The mistakes come at such a cost too.

I wouldn't mind if those who made the mistakes paid the cost, but the buggers don't, do they. Thanks for your comments Jackie, I love to hear from you.

Very true my friend. Much said in a few words of wisdom.

Problems exist when the big boys assume that some else will pay. We all know that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"They call it a world wide economic crisis"...
"KISS" should be tattooed on the forehead of everyone who wishes to sit on a corporate board from this day hence!

True my friend, true. It would be great if we could have judgements made by the corporate world without assumptions, assumptions always being subject to error.
I dream, my friend.
