Yankees like The Tennessee Mountain Man are such optimists and patriots that the country just keeps growing and growing regardless of the messes of our own making and those imposed on us. And, without once considering where it is taking us. No surprise we all know neither what the Holy Book nor the Hebrew, Muslim, or Christian soothsayers such as Michel de Nostredame want to say. Having lost the meaning of charity ( love ), the most significant present we had to lose the rest. Sensible geek dot com claims, in part : "The term soothsayer has many definitions and is predicated on issues of religion and belief.

* He or she receives a direct message from the divine, which is supposed to be communicated to others. * she is able to somehow tap into divine data and make prophecies about the way forward for the world or about individuals.". But I digress thinking on the cause instead of the fact.

The actuality for instance : The Tennessee Mountain Man hates dental gum of any sort. He loathes it being spit on the ground where it adheres to his shoes.

He particularly hates seeing bubbles being blown with bubble gum and hearing folk who can't resist popping and smacking their chewing and bubble gum, an issue not associated with smokeless tobacco products. Remote Helpdesk one is far more certain to cancel a PC fix technician for wrigleys gum than reporting to work with a hangover, or gnawing tobacco. Outsourced IT Services patrons don't need to hear a tech or any one else gnawing and popping gum or food in their ears. But the age old gum mess should have at least taught us a way to recognize a bubble.

It is, of course, precisely what the name implies.

It's a bubble and bubbles all do the same.

They have a tendency to swell to an unsustainable point where they burst splattering all over anything or any one in range. In the eighty's everybody was chasing a realtor's license because real property is where the money was. In the ninety's the tech industry had reputedly come of age and everyone with a nickel to invest was chasing tech stocks. 2008 is sort of here and guess what? Tech stocks are back in style while property speculators are taking a thrashing once more. Bubbles : We could be patriotic and we might be upbeat, except for a capitalistic society we sure are short on memory. It is just wonderful that we will remember in an immediate all of the negatives related to gnawing gum and bubble gum, while blinded by our inherent driving gluttony we won't or will not see that huge heavy bowling ball racing towards us like a speeding bullet preparing to knock our feet out from under us again. So far, we have not seen men murdering themselves in numbers like the last market crash, but what else could such a greedy future hold? Don't the Holy Bible talk on this? Bible? Ah, yes. That uh That Book mummy always had prominently displayed in the front room and den. That Book which was always on the corner of pop's desk. Failed to it say something about gaining the entire world and loosing your soul? I am wondering what ever occurred to that Book? Today each subject and discipline and government agency has it's own "bible" often with the word "Bible" being an element of the name or title. Wonder what those bibles say about technological advances, bubbles, gum, gluttony and housing and God knowing you have need of these things and he will provide? Wonder how their text compares with what pa's Bible said? Oh, well It is just man's instinct - Bubbles : Tech, Housing and Gum. Really, see the tracks? A bubble head has just been here.
