The Credit Crunch has forced us all to scale back on cake
It's important that we as human beings ask ourselves, that with all of our technological and financial advance, have we as people really improved?
There are certainly arguments to say we have. Our health care for example is greatly improved by new medicines and greater knowledge of the body, and our awareness of events around the world is aided by television and greater transparency. However, for as long as I can remember we as people have been advancing advancing advancing. My ipod's gotten smaller, and my computer faster. I expect for my standard of living to improve with that expectation, and can't envisage a situation in which one of them is left behind.
But the problem with the 'credit crunch' is that that very growth, that very improvement, is not by any means stopping, but is just slowing down a bit. Our lives are not getting worse, but our pace of getting better and bigger and more and more is slowing, and by our very nature we see this as a complete disaster.
I just wanted to send a message to ya'll on the anniversary of what has been reported more than the genocide taking place in the world, to not worry, because it remains that being British and being in the economic situation that we're in, remains a fantastic blessing and wonderful stroke of luck.
