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 and Creation

1. Some people don't believe in God.

2. Some people who believe in God don't believe in Evolution.

3. Some people believe, per counting the human generations and ages listed in the Bible, that the Earth and the entire Universe is only 6,000 years old.

All are wrong for the following reasons:

1. Remember the old cliche - "Which came first - the chicken or the egg?" You can't have an egg without an adult male and female chicken at the same time having bred it. You can't have the first adult male and female chicken unless they were eggs first. So either way, the first adult chickens had to be "created" or if they started as eggs, the eggs had to be "created". Same principle applies everywhere, but most especially to humans. Look at a newborn human baby. Totally helpless and dependent on it parents, a newborn baby could not survive on its own. So the first human baby needed an adult male and female human to copulate to create the first baby. Logically, those two first human adults who created the first human baby - how did they come to be if they were never babies themselves? Only logical answer is that they have to be created and in an Earth that is 24,000 miles in circumference, they had to be near each other too.

2. Once created, evolution can occur later through environmental and other factors. After all, we are one human species but have evolved into different skin colors through living in either hot or cold climates for many thousands of years. We know that different skin color humans are one and the same species as we can share blood and body organs when health issues require that to survive.

3. Science has proven that the light from stars that reach the Earth have traveled, depending on how far away from Earth they are, thousands of years in some cases to get here, millions of years in other cases, and billions of years in some cases. So how can the Universe be only 6,000 years old?

Also, if you believe that just the Earth is 6,000 years old, then explain dinosaurs. We know from extensive fossil records, that dinosaurs existed and were huge. It would have been impossible for humans to survive in a world of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the Bible, nor in human history. So if the Earth is only 6,000 years old and there's no human history of them, then did they only exist for 100 years and died out? Not realistic.
