programmer,

First of all, thanks for all your insightful posts here at the BC. I’ve learned a lot from you.

Second, there does not exist any small group of people who are bright enough to control the economy. The true patriots (and they exist in government) rely upon the collective dedication, hard work, and smarts of the average American to make things work, and do things better.

The real danger I see is people who are smart enough to understand economics, but not humble enough to understand their limitations. Although I have been pleasantly surprised by Obama’s picks for his cabinet (with a few notable exceptions), my fear is that his is too smart for his own good, and not humble enough for our own good. But we’ll see…

The US is not a community in need of an organizer, it is an organism in need of a community.

Enough posting for now. I better get to work.

Cheers.
