Try to imagine how confused I am when I attempt to understand the cause of the global economic crisis, being that global economics isn't a strong point for a guy who can't tell you what 15% of a $12.50 order is. Challenged as I am, I think I can say with a bit or certainty, what wasn't the cause.
A raise in the minimum wage I don't believe had anything to do with it, I think community sponsored agriculture may be off the hook as well. We certainly can't blame the creation of more child care spaces or the funding of programs for youth at risk. Harm reduction strategies, socialized medicine, lower tuition fees, and the Kyoto accord, I feel are all innocent.
I don't buy into the old proverb: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. -I would choose good old human greed as a more direct route.

too funny. you had me laughing. i think you're problem is that you tip 15% instead of 20%—it's way easier figuring out 20 than 10. i'm glad i'm not a waitress in your home town. :)
really neat photo, by the way.
and, as far as the economy goes, i'd have to agree with your philosophy. very well put!
