Hooray For Consumers!

I just want to say, "thank You!" to all the Americans who have suddenly gotten smart and realized that they must actually have money to spend it.
I don't know how much more a free society can say to its leaders, than that they are ready to allow the whole economy to collapse rather than be held hostage for it.
Perhaps someone should be looking at the numbers of bankruptcies files in the last year. People who are bankrupt do not shop at Macy's for Christmas.
Wouldn't it be great if what we are experiencing is a change that puts greedy people out of the network, and empowers the masses to begin using grassroots, community networks to make things happen in their own economies? An Army of Obama supporters could make that happen.
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?" was a Sixties poster. Maybe ours should be "What if they gave a credit card offer, and nobody took it?"
I'm an idealist, but I think everyone has a purpose, everyone has a gift, and everyone has something others need. In an inspirational economy devoid of greed, everyone could be satisfied living an inspired life.

Just another inventive thought...
