But what I read wasn't so much criticism as it was whining and blaming. Offer constructive ideas, not just reasons why...we suck. :)

Here are my ideas:

1. Capitalism is here to stay. Consumers and government should provide incentives for corporations to do the right thing, not just make more $$ for $$ sake. Read Bill Gates speech from today about a new approach to capitalism. Maybe not the best idea in the world but worth looking at.

2. Get rid of Republicans in the white house. They screw things up in most cases. But don't get rid of them in Washington altogether because neither side functions well when they have too much power. The Congress needs to learn to cooperate more, not just give one side the power to steamroll the other.

3. Rather than just offering tax deductions for individual charitable giving, the feds should MATCH individual donations up to a certain amount. Hey, maybe a dumb idea but it just came to mind. My company matches my donations and it's very cool.

4 Stop bitching so much. There's already too much of that. Positive thoughts help.
