Ok, tonight I talked to two people from Socialist countries who are against socialism. They say that the older generations work hard but the younger generations are lazy. I'm personally from a capitalist country, and all I see are the failings of capitalism. Single-parent families where the mother has to work two jobs to support the kids, etc.
There must be a happy medium, where nobody is in a dire situation, yet people have motivation to work hard, to innovate, etc. I open this up to the peanut gallery. Does anyone have a good solution?
Again I apologize for the brevity of my blog. In a survey of 5 people, 5 out of 5 skipped "the middle part" of my previous blog entry, which I sweated and slaved over for two hours the night before last. Thus, if you find this entry to be too brief, feel free to read over my older stuff. If you really did read everything, wow... I'm impressed. You have the kind of attention span I wish I had. :)
By the way, I spent most of the evening hanging out over a couple of bottles of red wine with two really cool Mongolians. That's the kind of thing that never happened to me back in the states. :)
Oyasumi...

Actually, for a daily blog this post seemed like the perfect length... though yes, I did read all of the other one! As far as a perfect society? When you get a group of people together, something always goes screwy I think. :)
Haha, ok, thanks for your help in the eternal search for the happy medium.
I guess on this topic my thoughts just tend to go around in circles. I wonder if anyone has any new ideas on it.
I think that extra long blog entry 2 days ago not only required a long attention span to get through, it required an attention span forged by a will of steel! Since the entry is filled with tangents that never really came back, it induces the fragmentation of the reader's attention as well.
But yes, I did read it. I had no clue what point you were trying to make by the end (or even if you wanted to make any points at that point :P) but I did read it. Of course, my attention span was forged by the supreme urge to procrastinate from my homework. So yeah... procrastination trumps fragmented writing any day ^^
Geez... everybody's so harsh!
That's why I love you guys. =)
Countries like Japan and Sweden seem to have achieved the happy medium... Not to mention the Netherlands as well :P
Secret? Perhaps heavy taxing and making good use of the money..?
