...I would probably make it my worst. Under-achieving is a niche in of itself:-) I would also probably share what I consider 'Common Sense Ideals' with the majority to see, if only I could help make it a reality to all.
While dealing with the debacles of computer viruses and spam, I've finally overcome them to write words that I'm not quite sure should be written. Words that tag my soul, my thoughts, my heart, as if forever was around the corner. It's not....not yet. I came here like Dan & Belushi, on a mission from God. I'll leave when God wants me back.
What an interesting year 2007 was and will be, until 2008 peeks its head into the fold. While I'd love to surmise it with surreal glimpses back and what may become of it....I'm no Crystal Ball...I'm no Prophet. For the record, I hate both of those facts.
My time on this forum has been well spent, overall at least. I've made many acquaintances, learned a whole bunch, and have garnered some business along this path. The true teller of what Active-Rain has been for me is very simple. It allotted me the chance to write again, only this time it was public.
So here it goes, my last wishes...my quasi-dying will, if this were to be it. (It isn't, I will live far too long and nobody is getting rid of this chap just yet). The following would be changes I would attempt to implement in the current world I live in....
- I would let my Parents know how much I care for them and apologize for not properly conveying that during my lifetime. I'd let my brother know he probably found the right girl and to settle down if that is what he truly wants to do.
- Gas Prices, Health-Care, Credit Card Companies....would be more regulated, not by the Government though. Their regulation would be in that they we are taught about it before they happened upon us. I harp on it a lot, education is key....as long as it is the right kind. I'll put it this way, before I'm able to dissect a cat, I want to make sure I'm taught how to balance a checkbook.
- "One Stop Shops" would die a long and brutally dismal death. There seems to me such a conflict of interest of having all one's needs fulfilled at one place. Some may call this efficiency, that everybody is on the same page and it is in the consumer's best interest. Hey Mr. & Mrs. Consumer! Choose to listen or let it fall idle before it reaches your ears or eyes, if ANYBODY in ANY facet of life REQUIRES or STRONGHOLDS you into using a particular business outlet on any transaction....that's called Fascism. Run away, far away.
- Political positions would never be a lifetime gig....at least as a high paying/compensating job. It's a civil duty in my book.
- Government spending seems as ridiculous as our own...or at least mine. I'd want someone to passionately and without bias...check it out and run the numbers.
- There would be high level classes in High-School & College for those who want to enter the Mortgage Industry.
- Take that tax that's called something akin to 'The Privilege To Work Tax' and shove it up your nostrils....then sneeze. Or, take those funds and start infusing it into leveling out the huge discrepancy between the rich and the poor. I'm no Socialist....but I see ridiculous as it happens.
- I hope I & We embrace Old Age. I hope we embrace it and don't fake it. While I don't want to put Plastic Surgeons out of business, I also don't want us to lose what we may be down the road.
- And may we all find.....HAPPY!
