Psychology of the simple!

     Have you kept up with the stock market? Have you seen these multi hundred points drops? Have you ever wondered why this occurs? There are numerous reasons of course, but at the pit of it you will find the psychology of the simple!
     What do I mean by that? It's quite simple really. One person in the market reports that everything is bad and chicken little takes over and the sky falls! On the opposite side, when things are actually bad, some says the good times have returned and all the chicken littles agree and the market rises, jobs open up and everything flourishes. Why is this so?
     Mainly because people are stupid! You see, the market does not move on reason, but fear! One large investor sells and all the lemmings line up and jump off the cliff in succession. Why do they sell? Because John Doe sold. Each one watches the other and when one jumps, all jump! When one large player jumps on the bandwagon and buys, the bandwagon fills up fast and the sky is the limit.
      Don't get me wrong. The business cycle is alive and well regardless of Clinton lying to us in the 90's. However, the market moves on fear and hope. These are emotions and do not come from reason. Why is the stock market down so much? FEAR! What is the basis of the fear? Emotional gut reaction is all. You see, no reason there. Our economy is built on emotion and is like a child with out of control emotions. We need to spank this market very hard to straighten it up and make it act right. May I have the first whack? Thank you and pass the paddle.

What goes around, comes around

Have you ever asked yourself when something bad happens, how did this happen? I'm certain you have as all of us do that very thing. Have you ever taken any logic training? If so, you know that if you start with A then you next have B and then C, you can logically deduce that D will come next. Sounds easy, right? Let's take a look at a few real life examples.
Suppose you know someone who smokes from an early age onward and they get emphesema. Are you shocked? Should that person be shocked? What about the drunkard? He drinks his entire life and dies from liver issues. Is that such a mystery that no one could see it coming? What about the over eater who dies from obesity? The over achiever who dies from heart issues?
I am certain you will agree with me and say no is shocked. However, many are shocked or act shocked when things like this happen everyday! It is plain to see and yet in emotional times, many of us neglect this little rule of nature and science. What is that rule?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law. In other words, you think you can get by, but you can't. If you hold a loaded gun to your head and pull the trigger, why are you shocked when you are shot in the head?
I know you are probably laughing at this due to its simplicity, yet it is 100% true. It is this simple. There are harder cases I know, but the truth of it is, most people get what they do to themselves. Let's stop being silly and no longer be shocked.
Let's look at a different case to prove this. OJ Simpson got away with cold blooded double murder 13 years ago. This weekend he was convicted on charges over some junk he took back from those he claim stole it. However, holding a gun and people against their will is against the law. OJ got away then, but let's not be shocked that he finally received justice in this life and I believe in the one to come.
One other case. Barack Obama. If this guy gets elected and you are shocked that our country will slide into socialism and the economy will go into deep recession, then you are as foolish as those I spoke concerning above. If you put a socialist with Marxist leanings in the White House who hates America and he attempts to destroy her, why would you be shocked?
This election is serious and everyone should love their country and vote accordingly. It will be terrible if Obama garners even a single vote. If you hate your country that much, please stand up and I will raise the funds to see you get what you deserve. A nice stay in Cuba or Iran or Russia perhaps! I will make certain you get someplace where you will not spew your vile without having your tongue cut out at the least. You will then love America, but for you, it will be too late.
I give you fair warning now. If you vote for this terrorist loving, socialistic, marxist leaning America hater, do not be surprised when you and your family are destroyed by those same like minded haters. I ask you to consider this, spread the word, get out and do what you can for your country. The last great Democratic President this country had said "Ask not what your country can do for you. rather, ask what you can do for your country" In that same speech, he said: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."    
Does that sound like any democrat you know today save Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller? I dare say you cannot say yes. Let's band together, let's vote for our country and not against her. Let's not wake up on 11/5/08 and say we do not understand how we have a Pres. Obama! God Forbid! Vote for change. Vote for real American change. Vote for those who will reform this Government. Those who will cut spending. Those who believe in and love America! Not these haters known as the Obama's. Not the Democrats. Not the Socialists. Not the Marxist. For all that is in me, I beg you to vote Republican and give Lady Liberty a chance to keep us free!
