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.

Evolution – There's A Problem

 

Here's where I agree with Scientists:

Through natural selection, animals can change/evolve over time. We see this ourselves in human species. Normally, tall parents produce tall children and short parents produce short children. Facial, hair and other features (for example, big nose, blond hair, etc.) can also be transferred to children and grandchildren. Same would be true for animals.

Here's where I disagree with Scientists:

1. I do not believe that life can and did evolve from inanimate objects. If true, then prove it by creating life from inanimate objects.

2. How can all the body parts (brains, hearts, veins, stomachs, lungs, intestines, bladders, kidneys, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, arms, legs, fingers, reproductive organs, etc.) which must function together to sustain animal and human life develop separately over time and the human or animal remain alive?

3. Given the fact that in most species, including us humans, newborn babies cannot survive or be created without parents – a male and a female. For instance, the first human being could not have started as a baby. That implies that two adult humans, a male and a female, who were never babies, had to be created simultaneously in the same location on Earth, started the human race by having babies together. Otherwise, there could never be a human species. Same is true for animals, fish, and insects.
