End Results

In the policy world there is a disconnect with the generations
Prose is not a form they are familiar much any more

 was a country once that was organized to have the government handle most things
Problems arose
 people changed the system through remarkable examples of personal courage

The country privatized and the efficient market handled more things than the government
Problems arose
We see patterns where there are none and ignore planks in our eyes

The problem isn't the system

When those pilots dropped bombs around us in Serbia none of them had to
Every single one fell

Generations mingle through institutional memory dies
We forget as we learn

Public policy is the only vehicle to get a community to communicate across time honestly
As it happens this is the primary node of corruption that makes money unsustainable

Implementation flawed not structure
Life has diversified into complex me and you

The universe needed life to battle entropy
 was afraid to die

Public policy end results should internalize externalities
Nothing else can and this is no secret

Where you do not see it you are looking wrong

Ethiopian Colonization

When you ask google it doesn't have much to say.  Says first that Ethiopia was never colonized by a european power, because that is most likely what i am talking about.  It was a term these women used to describe their first days of work in America.  We worked a long time together talking once a week for more than a year.  I didn't have any idea how it would work out and somehow then it didn't stop me from trying.

My first day I was excited.  I'm always excited first days.  Put at a desk with the office policies read I really had absolutely nothing to do.  It took me a quarter of the morning to realize no one was going to come tell me what to do.  So I did what I normally do looked for information.  With some effort I created a list of my clients.

A year later they were driving and would come to my work and yell at me about Ethiopian colonization. Couple weeks it lasted till their first paycheck arrived.  I figured they had no one to yell at and it helped.  To me that it ended so quickly showed that it didn't hurt.

This is a long story.  Perhaps this would be in the forward.  Better dedication I never read introductions., but I like the title.

Never shy with an opinion yet ready to be wrong
She didn't always know when she was
You don't know all the things you do
Some we all see and hers many responded to

She was of her generation
walked many crooked roads and saw some straightened
She took a stand and she was known and celebrated
Today one more

She loved to be in charge
Never wanted to follow
I didn't understand her completely
But she showed up everyday

What could be said
It has been many years
What could not be said
More than we have words here

She was several people in my life
And even more in her's
A living bridge for so long
Some places we can no longer get

This we mourn as we did with her
And will gather closer all together one fine day

Resolution

First impressions sometimes are correct
Sometimes you know what you are talking about
Certain ways you read the wrong things
There is a reason we have talked playoffs so many years

In the business of making many worlds one
The point is often missed
We marvel at the possibility of a multiple universe
It is just the definition of one or is

Any universe one or two or more would be a marvel
Comprehending their boundaries your primary mission
Where it is that you belong
How it is that you go about you life

How you can end up in the wrong place
And still find the right time
They send you further down the road
Ideas that become who you are

Resolute and ready to learn
To know what you saw
To believe what you heard
To live what you have wanted if only a moment

That it could be more
Is my resolution
