We're Rolling Rolling Rolling
Francis Fukuyama wrote a most interesting book 'The End of History and the Last Man' which I think should be read! No, I am not a bookseller nor do I have an interest so can I give a quote from the final paragraph which is, I think is relevent for today:-
'Alexandre Kojeve believed that ultimately history would vindicate its own rationality. That is, enough wagons would pull into town such that any reasonable person looking at the situation would be forced to agree that there had been only one journey and one destination. It is doubtful that we are that point now, for despite the recent worldwide liberal revolution, the evidence available to us now concerning the direction of the wagons' wanderings must remain provisionally inconclusive. Nor can we in the final analysis know, provided a majority of the wagons eventually reach the same town, whether their occupants, having looked around a bit at their new surroundings, will not find themselves inadequate and set their eyes on a new and more distant journey.'
Do you know what, I almost could not have put it any better with regard to the current economic situation. Get 'em up, move 'em on, where is Clint Eastwood when you need him? We're rolling, rolling, rolling...
