The Element

Sometimes I like to do this thing, I like to study what's going on in the world. We had the Egyptian uprisings. Here in our states we have union workers protesting to keep their union rights. If you're paying close attention you see that Moammar Gadhafi is the latest to be threatened by the sitting government protests. What I think is interesting about this one is that his son said something on the radio like, we [Libya] are not Egypt, you mourned the loss of eighty-something deaths, if you all don't act right, there will be thousands of them. Strong words...it should be interesting to see how all that fares.

But amidst all of the political posturing, and money changing there's an element that is common to it all. That element is the human element.

It doesn't matter who we are or what position we hold in today's world, whoever that person is is still a human being. No matter how hard they try to get away from it, or how much money they make to try to buy another label, you still have to stand (or sit) at a toilet and relieve yourself the way any man or woman does. So this is where my questions come in. If we are all not the same, how hard is it to come to an agreement with the people that you serve, to make theirs and your life better in the long run. Would it not make sense to be human about it all, sit down and come to a collective agreement, rather than following the money, or listening all the way to the people who are giving you that money?

I think we would all do a little bit better if we put our minds to work and used some of that good old fashioned human logic and reasoning. Or is that to much to ask?
