Comments on: In Search Of Common Sense http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/12/20/in-search-of-common-sense/ Random thoughts, half thoughts, and just plain stuff I want to blog about Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:43:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Matt http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/12/20/in-search-of-common-sense/comment-page-1/#comment-438 Matt Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:32:02 +0000 http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/12/20/in-search-of-common-sense/#comment-438 Definitely. The problem right now, I think, is that we <i>need</i> a ton of short-term fixes, yet we also need to get things in order for the long-term. A frightening amount of nations seem to hate the US, our schools are appallingly bad, as is our healthcare system; our infrastructure really isn't up to standards, and our economy is so bad that it's bringing the rest of the world down with it. We absolutely, positively need to fix most everything, but it's as if we're trying to patch the holes in a leaking boat that's also on fire.
