Recession not bad....

Today marked an historic day... as the people around the world have marked. The 44th president of US, Barack Hussein Obama, has taken over the office of the President of United States of America.

He seems to be heading in the general right direction.. he has his priorities right and his head square on his shoulders. Everyone is looking to him to lead the US and the world into another golden era.

But, you know - at the overall level, recession may not be all that bad. Well, except for the folks that are below the middle class and/or have been out of job for a while.

Having a person like Obama at the head, hopefully will give us the strength and guidance to take a hard look at our consumerist ways and wasteful ways of the spending cycle.

Here is something I had blogged out some months ago.
The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard
It is a time to remind ourselves on some truths about our way of living and the destructive cycle of consumption.

Hope things get better - and not just temporarily.
