Newtons Law of Econonmic Woe…

Ok. So Newton didn’t really write a law about economic woe. He did, however, write the first law of motion which states: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

How does that relate to our current financial crisis? Allow me to shed some light. There are approximately seven billion people on this planet. Now let’s assume that half of these people are either too old, too young, too lazy, too stupid or too high to work.

That still leaves almost three and a half billion people who still get up every morning and do something productive for somebody in exchange for marketable currency.

Now you can call me an optimist or anything else, but I sincerely believe that three and a half billion motivated worker bees is one fairly large “Object in Motion”.

Now the only thing working against this object is a hand-full of over-stimulated, greedy, liberal politicians and union leaders bent on taking our world over (the unbalanced force).

I am of the opinion (shared by many who will be attending “tea parties” in the U.S. and similar protests worldwide), that those over-stimulated, greedy, tree-hugging dirt-munchers who turn their lights off for an hour (thereby cooling off the planet and slowing global warming), will be over run by the object in motion (three and a half billion people with integrity) thus allowing the object in motion to continue its pursuit of excellence to move continuously forward and retake what rightfully belongs to the hands that toil until it is once again slowed down by other unbalanced forces.

So go to work in a relentless pursuit of excellence and we will once again be free… or we can allow the unbalanced force to scare us into believing that “we need them”, at which point we will be doomed.

It is OUR choice.
