Why is it that when the world is in crisis, the ordinary person looks to government to solve the problems? Have they ever been good at solving them before? There is always the argument that we pay tax dollars and our hard-earned cash should go to fixing this, but is that really practical? Most of the world's governments can't even manage using their peoples' tax dollars to keep there whole population in homes and with food on the table, how can we expect them to decide when it's right to go to war, or decide how to fix a financial crisis?
This is where someone says to me, "well if they can't do it, who can?" I don't think I know the answer, and frankly, if you are reading this expecting answers you should stop and never come back to read any of my future posts. As to the question, "who can?" I answer with another question (and therefore not an answer at all)----- Can anyone be trusted to make these decisions, or are humans just not qualified to fix the problems they create for themselves?
If you're like me, and enjoy posing questions with no answers, then I encourage you to come back and read my future posts. I must warn you though that I do not plan on all my posts consisting of life's endless debates. I am a musician (improvisor/composer/pianist)and plan on discussing musical question which interest me, as well as making making some commentaries on my life and experiences. If those things sound remotely interesting then come on back in a couple of days and hopefully you be able to experience my 2nd official blog post.
