Okay, now that I got that off my chest, let us talk about where to go from here. Mr. Conway!!!!! Since you think Joe Taxpayer should bail out the financial industry (or at least some of the big players in that industry), what are YOU going to do to protect our investment??? This is an investment, right??

I read the article about Mr. Conway feeling torn up inside over the angst of having to vote for or against the bail out. Well, that is why the crown is heavy, right???

Wouldn't it be marvelous if we could get rid of the pains and stains? We live with both in this world of sin.
Pains of past hurts, present inflictions, being inflicted, unproven implications. Pains that tear at our hearts, our souls, our very being. Pains are like paint, they leave stains. Like some stains from paint, some stains from pains can never be removed.

By the looks of that old truck, you could tell.
She had paid her dues and been through h---.
Rusty fenders, broken windows, all the wears of time.
But through it all, she is paid for, I'm glad she is mine.
Found an old piece of paper on her rusty floor.
Said something to the effect of "I'll love ya for ever more".

Upon this spot not long ago, I planted a young Rose Bush. Upon this day I made a pledge to tenderly care for it, and make sure it not only survived, but had the best that God and I could offer it. God sent his sunshine and rain, his gentle breeze of evening to sway its tender branches and leaves. I supplied extra protection through fertilizer and insect repellent combined.

Enshrouded among the gentle, yet at times, vibrant evenging breeze a slow rain was emerging. The darkness of night awakening while daytime slowly slipped away.

Change is good, change is frightening, change is deceitful, change is assuring,change is uncertain, change is everything and nothing all encompassed within itself. ONE THING IS CERTAIN: CHANGE IS COMING.
To some entombed in their concrete abodes of employment, enjoyment, procrastinating , hesitating security of self..change is coming.
