Not-so-Great Britain

By
Home Inspector with Charles Buell Inspections Inc.

Across the pond, Great Britain (or is it now Not-so-Great Britain?) has decided it is best to not be part of the larger world view.  They have chosen isolation.

Like it or not, we are all trapped on this spinning globe. 

We either all make it or none of us makes it. 

Any steps taken, that take us away from one world where all peoples are taken care of and provided opportunities to take care of themselves, are steps in the wrong direction.  Steps away from unity can only serve to increase disparity, economic inequity and an “us vs them” mentality.

Even here in our own country there is inane talk of building walls.

Never in human history has tearing town walls between us been more important.

Let’s all work to keep America Great, and not devolve into a “Not-so-Great America.”

Yesterday, I posted a little analogy using microscopes about what it means to have a bigger view.

A Room Without a View

Charles change is happening and  change  is a constant. Somehow this will all work out - might take some time but it will settle down.

Hi Charles - We're definitely living in interesting weird times, and there's so much going on that's interconnected to everything everywhere. This is a step backward for England and the rest of us, and I hope it's a temporary one.

Most people seem to be willing to withdraw into their own little space and think that is all there is.  We are all part of the whole picture whether we resist or like it or not.

Good afternoon Charles. This is going to cost everyone everywhere and it is scary.

I find it very troubling---another step away from us all seeing ourselves as one humanity on the globe.

This seemed a bit of an odd post... as a country that left the 'European union' several hundred years ago it seems more deserving applause then denigration. One might just as easily bemoan the us-vs-them mentality evidenced by the United States failing to join with Canada as a joint political power...

Please don't misunderstand me. The current issues may be being poorly handled and we may all come to a bad end... but this post seems to be supporting the status quo simply to do so.

Perhaps we should repair old rifts and return to sharing a queen with our neighbors across the ocean.

Craziness in my opinion. Sometimes majority opinion is not good for the majority.

A nice informed post pertaining to an important subject matter. I'm glad I came across it in the archives.
