Centre Of Attention

MAP

Okay – an interesting question came up last night during a discussion.  If we consciously or unconsciously manipulated our environment so we could evolve, does that put us humans at the centre of creation?

Yes and no.

But what’s wrong with that?  Everything is at the centre of its own creation.  That is life.

Besides – what is centre?  Can you tell me where the centre of anything is?

New Model To Save Auto Industry

As GM goes, so goes the nation.

This worries me.  Not because General Motors has gone into bankruptcy protection … or the plant closures … or the permanently lost jobs.  There is no doubt these are all bad signs.

What worries me most is GM restructuring to become “sustainable”.  The CEO using buzz word doesn’t mean they have changed their underlying business model.  The same model that got them into this mess in the first place.
