I think with these lessons, Clark, I’m just grateful to the tiny handful of you who care enough to read them that I wouldn’t mind a political discussion … if you can scare up enough commenters to get one going!

This really wasn’t what I expected when I started to read a lesson on “business life.” I thought it would be about individual business ethics, or training for business, or something like that. Once I started reading, I was surprised at how familiar the arguments were.

Interesting. Was this written by Glenn Beck? j/k

The comment about the decline of the British Empire, in retrospect, seems prophetic, as is the comment about entering an age of war, violence, and ruin.

Interestingly, the U.S. continued to pursue a policy of indebtedness (and does today more than ever. The arguments this author makes against national debt are same arguments conservative talk show hosts continue to spout.

So is it just more sky-is-falling nonsense, or will the chickens eventually come home to roost? Too bad Ardis insists on an apolitical blog…

I’m guessing that the current national debt figure might have made his brain explode.
