With Independence Day one day away, days ago, Canada Day, and the Wimbledon men's final in the UK today, I hope and pray that we're doing okay. (Like that?) I am all right, but what about America her/itself?
Watching the news recently has been more depressing than usual. Things are falling apart. Even our sports industry is messed up — NFL & NBA lockouts — thankfully, I'm a Tennis fan. Tennis; another thing Americans aren't excelling at. (Though Mardy Fish has had a commendable run. The Williams sisters were knocked out of the grass Grand Slam early, Andy Roddick's game was eaten alive, and where'd James Blake go?)
I hope Minnesota pulls through. And the rest of America. The stock market is going okay, and the economy has turned around somewhat, but no one seems to realize that. Small business owners are still getting shafted; bad, big banking won't extend much needed credit, even to people with perfect credit histories. I don't have enough time or patience at the moment to get into Obamacare... certainly not enough to write about Obama himself.
God bless our soldiers, though.
Here on the home front, crime is increasing while police officers are being laid-off and retired early. I suppose, like a silly, idealistic optimist, I could look southward and say, "at least it isn't as bad here as it is in Mexico..." yet.
How does this effect the disabled? Well, first, it's upsetting being physically unable to help. It's always hard missing out on simple pleasures — a long walk, a game of tennis, a morning jog with a loyal dog — but it's even harder missing out on necessities. Disability checks are minuscule; the cost of living isn't.
I've been considering these things, pondering the state of the Union and the world, in part because 6Wunderkinder GmbH, creator of Wunderlist, is running a writing contest of sorts. It's actually more of a storytelling contest — they want to know how people use Wunderlist, and the "most creative" wins an iPad 2 plus smart cover signed by the 6Wunderkinder team.
I don't know that my usage is the "most creative," but Wunderlist has certainly been amazingly helpful, in part because it's free and available on every platform I utilize.
<strong>Maybe if our governments could learn from past mistakes</strong> (I was taught in school that that was part of the point of "history") and learn something from the <em>Twitter Age,</em> they'd realize that fixing problems and solving the budget deficits can be done. America wastes billions of dollars per year (and that dollar is becoming pretty darned weak)... Wunderlist is free.
Apple iOS developers have proven that 1000+ employee companies aren't required to make great, innovative tools (and super fun games!). A small, dedicated team could change the world. Again.
Twitter started out small. So did Wikipedia. What's next?
Whatever it is, I hope it comes quick.
<h2>Hello world, you need saving!</h2>
Don't know what is wrong what is rite but i know that every one has there own point of view and same goes to this one.
