I understand that high profile folks like Miller are the ones making the newspaper, but believe me there are any number of every-day folks who think it sucks to be them today. So many are struggling to hang on, just like Miller and others. A lot of folks trying to hang on would be happy to see some of these high profile folks become profitable again as it might mean jobs for them. I can never take any comfort in the downfall of others especially when that downfall takes a whole lot of everyday people with it. We all need to rethink some of our attitudes (this includes the high profile folks) and recognize we are all interconnected here when it comes to progress, success and job production. Without those entrepreneurs willing to risk their money on new businesses or new developments we will not see new job creation. Maybe we could start a new dialogue here and try to find more common ground and ways to cooperate and move forward cause it really is a fact, folks, at the end of the day we are all in this together. Maybe we can try and find some positives in these difficult times. I am resolving in the New Year to investigate what I need to do to become a foster parent and see if that will work for me. It's only one person and one child, but every positive action can make a difference. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth, but still think I can make a difference.
