Are ya sayin' I'm bleedin' wrong den? Are ya, are ya?
I beileve in the power of positive mental attitude but I also believe we have a long way to go to internalise any lessons that might be taken from this economic mess.
We had a chance but didn't learn this lesson before, albeit on a smaller scale but if I can just about remember it, then so should plenty of others. As an educated country, we found it very easy to believe in a fairy tale and I really think until the media start us on the road of focussing on taking personal responsibility for our actions, we are learning very little this time either. We, as a nation, let what happened happen. We believed the guff Fianna Fail, the banks, developers, neighbours etc. trotted out eventhough we knew deep down it didn't make sense. Obviously the banks and government were culpable in a big way too but are a only one part of the problem.
What's depressing is that unless we shake ourselves out of this stupor, get rid of the current government and try and put a bit of shape on things, we will learn nothing this time either.
If it were a collective effort maybe I could swallow some of the ráiméis you and Biffo spout,
I think we'll be in recession for 10 years or more.
Did anyone see the primetime program on Finland? Took them 17 years to get back to the employment rate they had in the early 90's. You'd have to hope that our glorious leaders are studying Finland right now, to see how we can avoid that scenario.

- Maybe if we sank into the Atlantic or we were offered financial aid and fiscal planning by the Icelanders, other than that, this is just about as bad as it gets.
A positive attitude is not hoping things will not get any worse, it's taking well thought through actions to ensure they don't
You're welcome, but please don't take anything I write or spell in any language as true or accurate; this is the cyber-inter-virtual-thing, an infamous source of guff and waffle.One positive, I never knew how to spell 'ráiméis'. Thanks..
