Similar to Zenpun, "Want" industries DOWN, "Need" industries UP.
Anything else is basically corruption. You add to it or don't whether its funny or not.

The government holds our money and is in deadlock, however corporations and wealthy individuals roam free to do what they choose, and should choose wisely.
It is our obligation to convince both ourselves, our wealthy bosses, and our organizations to allocate more to humanitarian causes because we are slowly becoming the victims ourselves. The corporation and its employees are the buffalo, and ignoring starving kids, homeless, and unemployed, etc, is the cliff that we are not seeing. Lower your salary, stop just waiting for leaders to act, and be a real leader yourself. No more talk about economic stimulation, subsidies, your portfolio. Corporations and people with money and resources are either the disaster or can prevent it. It's the only way. Do something while you still can, don't just watch your colleagues company go bankrupt, you might be next. Trust me, I know.

Internet Bubble, Real Estate Bubble, Investment Banking Bubble, Auto Bubble, ECO Bubble? In each of these cases, leaders made lots of money, and temporary workers got laid off and are told that they are lazy as they stand in line on a cold winter's day for food because they are hungry.
Leaders travel the world, see exotic places, and there still to this day are starving kids ("temporary workers") in China, Africa, and our own neighborhoods. (They probably tell their own kids to stop whining and cite this fact.)
Leaders will make claims of dropping CO2 levels when a lot of it will be taken from developing countries (most of whom are working on a "temporary basis"), and "temporary workers" in their tiny box homes recycle plastic bags for garbage, split out burnable and non-burnable, and maids from third world countries will do it for the leaders.
Leaders tell their subordinates to start bombing the Gaza strip, while temporary workers strap bombs on their backs and blow up other temporary workers.
Leaders create policies for hiring and firing temporary workers, and hire other temporary workers to figure out how they can make better tax deductions for themselves.
Leaders pat each other on the back for doing such good jobs, and celebrate in Roppongi Hills and Midtown fine cuisine out of Sagat, or Goodwill (or whatever its called) which temporary workers compiled for them. Temporary workers try to do the same, and have no savings, and end up lining up for food on a cold winter's night.
Leaders collect temporary workers CV's in a big database and select at will those most suited to carry out the task of the leaders. Any "temporary worker" who sticks its head up in protest (as the old Japanese saying goes) gets hammered down.
"Temporary workers", abandoned by their own "brothers & sisters" (the leaders), no food, no place to stay, go sniffling through the leaders post box to look at pictures of happy "leader" families to quench their loneliness and maybe, some day, win the lottery (ironically run by the leaders), only to have comments written about them in newspaper headlines.
My hope for 2009 is for more smiles on the faces of "temporary workers" and perhaps less smiles on the faces of "leaders".
I am so ashamed, and I feel so helpless.

True Muslims, Christians, Jews don't kill, they are being distorted, overwhelmed, and minimized. The Righteous are pushed aside, in the name of progress, development, god, any non-truth by people seemingly unaware of their own doing. However the Truth is always available to those who seek it.

My heart goes out to the bottom half of the corporate ladder including homeless, unemployed, freeters, part-timers, blue-collar workers, temps, analysts, and maybe middle-managers.
May god have mercy on corporate decision makers of late, namely executives, expats, directors, vice presidents, and all that aspire to them.
If I haven't learned anything about Financial Services, Insurance, Real Estate, Consulting, Business Development, Marketing, "Adding Value", Professionalism, ie. "Bubbles", is that it might be wiser to stay away from it. There are no heroes in the corporate world, because, by definition, heroes aren't welcome there. I'm out of here. Anyone want any furniture? I also have shares in Lehman Brothers if Bank of America hasn't already claimed it from me, as well as a Lehman Brothers Soccer Jersey, and a Manulife Star of Excellence Trophy.
Oh, and if you truly dig this, and feel that maybe you are a little lost, I highly recommend the following: http://www.harunyahya.com/Qurantranslation/Qurantranslation_index.php. Mercy Christmas and Mercy New Year, may God be with you.
Otherwise, as they say, "Best of luck!".

Christmas is undeniably about the birth of Christ. Christ is a symbol of many heroic things, and all the characteristics that go with them.
