Yes, President Obama - Tell Them!

President Obama says "The time for talk is over. The time for action is now."

Watch him in this video courtesy of MSNBC. It is worth watching.

Also, in a different piece in today's Washington Post: The Action Americans Need, he spells it all out. And please check out the very last line: "The writer is the president of the United States". That he is!

Senator Harry Reid now says he has the votes to pass a stimulus bill. Today, CNBC reported that passage may come next week. Let's get on with it!

Why "Reasoning the Reasons"?

Jamaicans love to engage in "reasoning".

Translation for all the non-Jamaicans: what that means is we are a culture of people - with strong individual opinions - who love to have discussions on everything - especially matters of global and social importance.

As a developing country, we feel the effects of decisions made by the developed countries - those richer and more powerful. Historically, we are given many "reasons" for their actions - actions that do not produce the results (more "reasons") they tell us to expect.

Therefore, we find ourselves trying to make sense of what appears sometimes to be nonsense. We find ourselves trying to figure out the methods behind the apparent madness. Most importantly, we find ourselves trying to "keep on keeping on" - otherwise known as survive. That is reasoning. And it is part and parcel of what makes us Jamaicans.

As Bob Marley said: "There is so much trouble in the world". How true. And we hear many "reasons". And we are given even more "reasons" for the solutions and that many more "reasons" for the failures of the solutions.

In true Jamaican style, this blog is just "reasoning the reasons".

I look forward, not back.

I do not blame, I analyze.

I observe, comment, and question.

And the objective? It's a better world for all people and generations to come.
