A Global Picture

We live in a world that is connected more strongly as time goes by.  We have a world economy, vast communications systems, and networks of people that span continents.  Many complex factors govern how this global network work, many of which we cannot understand or comprehend.  As the world grows more complex, governments (and people) must be careful of what they do.  Actions today can not just have an effect in one area tomorrow, but the whole world.  While this has been true for quite some time, this principle is becoming more and more relevant as online social tools bring us closer together.  We need to understand the workings of the world if we are to persevere in our pursuits.  This is not necessarily in foreign countries.  We need to understand the complex workings of our own country in order to instigate an economic recovery.  As we have said before, problems are much more complicated that they seem at first.  The sooner we all realize this, especially those in Washington, the sooner we can make the changes need to make our country and the world a better place for us all.  Keeping in mind the changes that will result from our action everywhere, on everyone will help us decide what to do.  Actions mean consequences.  Let's hope we make the right actions.
