A scrollsawer’s view of the world

Steve Good is a prolific designer of patterns to be cut on the scrollsaw which he publishes on his weblog Scrollsaw Workshop.  I suspect a lot of people around the world will relate to todays drawing which I have copied below.  One could easily replace the U.S. with one’s own country or the whole world.

I suggest the basic problem is that most of us, most of the time act and think in our own short-term interests as opposed to our own long-term interests or the interests of the communtiy as a whole..

Frequently I am tempted to forget about economics and just cut on the scrollsaw.

Sooner or Later She’s Gonna Break!

 

Thomas Jefferson said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

Sorry for the politics but that’s just the mood I’m in tonight.
