The
Arab nations initiated and lost 5 wars with Israel, all with the
intent to destroy Israel and wipe it from the face of the Earth. So,
given those goals, if they had won any of those wars and captured
part or all of Israel, we all know that not one square inch of
territory would have been returned to Israel. So why should Israel,
the victim of 5 wars against it in its short history as an
independent nation, which has already returned some of their captured
land from those wars back to the Palestinians, return any more land
to them? That would just incent them and other Arab nations into a
future war with Israel, since such a policy would create a situation
where there would be no risk of losing territory. Also, keep in mind
that the Palestinians have it in their charter still to destroy
Israel and wipe it off the face of the Earth - so they therefore
deserve no sympathy nor territory returned. Logically, there should
be no peace negotiations with the Palestinians until they change
their charter and recognize Israel's right to exist, plus stop
sending rockets into Israeli territory. In the course of human
history, nearly every war waged has resulted in some national
boudaries being re-drawn. The risk of losing some or all of a
nation's territory by starting a war is the largest incentive not to
start a war. Let's not lose that incentive.
Getting it Right - Welcome
The goal of this blog is to publish my thoughts on a variety of economic and political topics in the hopes that people who find them educational or beneficial will utilize them and/or forward to others who might find them interesting and/or worthwhile to promote to others, possibly including politicians who can push some of these ideas to fruition. The topics in my blog are meant to be of value on a long term basis, not a daily diary or political issue of the day log. If the information posted is useful to you, by all means utilize it and/or forward it as you see fit. If not useful, then merely ignore it. There are no universally agreed upon truisms and too little tolerance between some of those with opposing viewpoints to successfully convince the people with hardened opinions to move away from them. I am an analytical type person who will try to be as factual as I am able.
I disdain the current popularity of name calling and condemnation of viewpoints with no factual alternatives or logical solutions given that I see so often. If you don't have a solution based on fact and logic, then opt out of the discussion because you have nothing to contribute. My background is a degree in Economics from the University of Michigan and 39 years working in middle management jobs for a major retailer. My opinions are forged on the personal experence of life, family, friends, and work as well as triumphs and mistakes that I have made and hopefully learned from. My hope is that this blog helps you.
My first topic will be about personal finance. I chose that one first because most of us work long and hard just to survive but not all of us realize our dreams of becoming financially independent from the labors of our work. Much of our political votes/thinking also focus on the economy and in particular how well we are personally doing financially.
It is relatively simple, without sacrificing the enjoyment of living for 'today' and even at moderate incomes, to retire as a millionaire or multi-millionaire, if you focus on that goal consistently from a young age. It is also simple to ensure that your child or grandchild retires rich. It merely requires a one time gift of just $2,000 invested wisely and the passage of time. Please read my first post on this blog to learn more.
An index/schedule of past and future posts and their dates will always be updated so that it becomes the first post that you see below. If the date of a post that you wish to read is preceded by the word "Posted", then find it below or click on the title in the Blog archive to review.
