So, the end of BSG was pretty fraking awesome. We watched all 2 hours of Daybreak, Part 2 on Friday. The end of the series was very poetic, and the way they tied up all of the characters’ situations was really quite spectacular.

The End

In other news, it’s about 75 here and quite awesome. I really hope it stays this way a while and doesn’t snow next week 😐

A company fails. So, they go to the government for a bailout. Because of their willingness/need for this bailout, people lose confidence in the company. Therefore, investors pull out. The bailout funds initially received are now quite insufficient. The company goes back to the government. Repeat.

I’m sure AIG isn’t the only company headed into that loop. I’m sure the American automobile industry will head that way, soon enough (they may have already).

So what are the limits to this bailout mentality? What’s truly disturbing about it is that all of this is happening to companies that are considered to be “vital” to the American economy. So, we’re essentially bullied into forking over money that doesn’t exist–after all, we’d be heartless to let companies fail and people be out of work. However, how long can debt be run up before we just collapse because of the consequences of it?

I’m thinking the consequences of acting the way we are, if there is no interrupt of this loop, may be far greater than if we had let the likes of AIG fail.

Just in case the theory of global warming is really true, I thought I would capture snow in these parts so that the next generations will believe me. lol.

Prepare for a shock…

And, the grand finale…
