His voice and language express great compassion, great understanding and great patience with the mistakes being made. He is such a good leader toward a better world.

Excellent post. We are all in this economy together.

The word "economy" is derived from the Greek for household management. (According to this website.)

And as all old married people know, managing a household is a matter of cooperation, not of self-centered greed.

Could not agree more...but then that is why they are not listened to by those in power.
They don't want wisdom because there is no money in it.

You're going to get some friction here for being on RT. I personally don't care where I see you and Dr. Wolff as long as I can see you. In this case RT is just fine by me.

Government=bad. Private enterprise=good. Regulations=bad. Profit=good. American=good. Foreign=bad. Christian=good. Other religions=bad.

Sometimes those equivalences aren't as absolute as simple-minded folk want to believe. Sometimes truth lies in the middle. Sometimes it's good to mix things up a little. Sometimes it's good to think a little bit harder.
