Gin Arnold is a 70 year old liberal living in Cotacachi, Ecuador after living in S. Alabama. I have owned several businesses, lived aboard a 32 foot sailing yacht, been a bar tender, boat captain, short order cook, and imported furniture from Indonesia for some 15 years. I am a strong supporter of President Obama, Roe V Wade, universal health care, and a more peaceful world.

Looking through a telescope or a microscope

In times of turmoil it is hard to keep balance and one begins to wonder just how bad things will get and will I survive. In the end, the answer is, "No, no one gets out of here alive".

I have no debate about Michael Jackson being a music icon, even though I am not sure he played an instrument, nor wrote that much music but do I beleive his death has been played past any possible worth. YES.

Take notice all you Wall Street punks
SHARE More Sharing
If anything should anger you more than the mentality on Wall Street that someone feels $250K is "chump change" I cannot imagine what it would be. The public has stood by, as a small number of arrogant low class punks have created a system that has allowed them to make vulgar amounts of money, and yet when they have now failed they are asking for "us" to bail them out.

We hear over and over from the politcos and talking heads how our children and grandchildren will be burdened by the deficit-----I don't really think most of us give it a lot of thought.

There is a lot of unhappiness and lots of palying the blame game but very few people taking responsibility. It is too easy to blame "the other guy".
