We have met the enemy and it is not liberal or conservative. It is not Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim or even Atheist. Our greatest threat does not come in the form of crime or terror. We cannot blame it on sex, drugs or guns. Nor can we blame it on communism, capitalism or even totalitarianism. It is not about the NRA, CIA or the AFL-CIO. The most brutal dictators of history pale in comparison to our most formidable foe, which is our own indifference. Steve Saenz, Atlanta, GA / 31January2013

RAM is an album by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, released in 1971, the only album credited to the pair. Set against the backdrop of the legal action taking place in Britain's High Court with the dissolution of The Beatles partnership, following their break-up the year before, Ram was the second of two albums McCartney released between quitting The Beatles and forming Wings, whose future drummer Denny Seiwell played on the record. Monkberry Moon Delight (featured in the video below) is the second cut on Side 2 of the LP, which you can listen to in its entirety using the Spotify player above. IMHO, this album is getting better with age... WHERE IS UNCLE ALBERT WHEN WE NEED HIM??? "Monkberry Moon Delight by Paul & Linda McCartney (1971)
* CANTATA (from Italian cantare, “to sing”), originally, a musical composition intended to be sung, as opposed to a sonata, a composition played instrumentally; now, loosely, any work for voices and instruments.
"I think the Earth Mother and all of her creatures could use a little hope in this day and age. This is very simple; just join in the choruses. The first chorus is, 'And He Sees.' The second chorus is, 'Set It Free.' The third chorus is 'Let It Shine.' When we get there, let's take the roof off this place!" ~ Dan Fogelberg There's A Place In the World for A Gambler, Dan Fogelberg*
* From Dan Fogelberg Live: Greetings From The West
Released October 1991 by Epic Records. It was recorded live at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri on June 25, 1991. Greetings From The West is also available as a full length Sony Music video and DVD.
Those who study behavioral finance sometimes refer to this as extrapolation bias. It's damn hard to see a 6,000-point rally coming when you have just witnessed (suffered) a 7,000-point blood letting. The paradox is that, the closer you are to action, the more difficult it is to see around the bend. Speaking of seeing around the bend, I had the good fortune of meeting and interviewing a man by the name of Verne Wheelwright several years ago. Verne wrote a terrific book called, It's Your Future: Make It A Good One. According to the World Future Society, an organization to which Verne and I both belong, FORESIGHT, is the most important skill one can develop for the 21st Century. I could not agree more, which is why I included this as a category in my new Wealth Management Bookstore. In any event, the purpose of this slog post (as always) is to get you thinking. Hope you find this helpful. Click on images to enlarge... Looking back from the far side of the chasm... It's twue, it's twue, hindsight IS 20/20 View from the top... I feel good!

The World Future Society says that the most important skill one can in the 21st Century is "foresight." Maybe I should look into this... Explore Some More

RAMBLE ON
RAMBLE ON, the name of my SLOG was inspired by the Led Zeppelin song with the same name. It also describes the content, which reflects my very random observations about life, work and my endless pursuit of the sublime. See tag list below...
