away we go

Hi, my name is Scott Hogan and I know times are tough right now . . . all across the globe the economy is bad.? This blog is intended to help?make sense?of what is going on and–we should be so lucky–how to deal with the mess.?The now and the future.

I’ll tell you right up that I believe?runaway personal freedom (liberty without conscience) combined with?unrestricted capitalism (think CEO’s who care more about stock options than stockholders) and privileged officials (think senators/congressfolk who . . . absent term limits . . . do what it takes to get reelected no matter how stupid) got us here.? BUT, I also believe that liberty and capitalism?will help us get back on track.?

When appropriate, I’ll?post negative ‘marks’ to?individuals, bureaucrats, governments or enterprises when the mess up.? Positive ‘marks’ if they help.? That is the plan anyway . . . but first we have to get through this mess and get back on the track of American ingenuity and integrity.

I hope you’ll leave comments and provide your own insight.? Differing points of view are how we learn and I am open.?

Stay tuned.? We, the people, are the key and as time goes on ‘we’ just might take the power back and send a lot of the crooks and idiots packing.

Meanwhile, have fun if you can and stay busy if you can’t.? Life is great!
