God Forbid; Take a Lesson from a Review of the AIG of Yesterday and Today?

Today, two years later …I believe that these subjects are worth revisiting to remember HOW the topics which surrounded, enveloped and preoccupied so much of the media’s attention in one story after another …at this particular time hindered …rather hastily hindered more than helped to focus time, money and energy upon more promising causes …those which should have borne fruit in seeds in a more timely cost effective manner.

As such, this introductory period’s waste of time could have and should have sown its wasteful efforts into fields more oriented toward solution in fields which should have planted a crop whose purpose it should have otherwise been oriented at unifying and bolstering America’s efforts to maintain the bond of peace for and within that which would cause and build service to liberty’s sole sake “…We the People …” more than we the political side steppers …toe-tappers …rather than otherwise was the case avoiding a more egregiously lost opportunity to take responsibility …honing up to the   reality for having been …asleep at the wheel.

God forbid that that should still be the same case today.

 And for one reason or another, those issues which preoccupied and permeated …and coyly misled, misplayed and resulted in building the pitiful American mindset at the time  …if, but for only a brief time span …encompassing merely a matter of weeks or so …NOW, might it not serve a more useful and sobering purpose …to make a review worth the look back?

 So, now …with the passage of two years’ time; I have to wonder how much honest esteem for such calls’ greater discretion remains …that is; any more than a “…Whatever …” mindset?

And so, now I am wondering what of any significance …has changed in the last two short years which may have passed over to cover up this subject’s matters and concerns?

Are the seeds of such concerns still growing?

 Have such produced any fruit multiplied 30, 60 or a hundred fold?

Or is this a mute case of an old story gone passé in the wake of the Gulf …and now Japan? (They shoot horses; don’t they? How about Boy Scouts?)

Or did the seeds of blame and shame fall upon more than fertile ground …upon more futile stages or self-serving interests …merely failing to produce the needed wisdom in any significant abundance which would …could …and should otherwise better serve the greater interests of all …securing a more watchful guard over liberty and justice for all?

What work is worthy of the fruits harvested in the fields of immediate gain if such is that which profits so few simply by taking the lazy and mindless course of political grandstanding within the context of shame and blame?

None worthy save the hangover …or the illegitimate consequence unprofible that is …no?

If so, wouldn’t it follow that these more immediate pursuits will easily and soon be forgotten, yes?

Then, why not remember these shortcomings and …compare their woes’ measures’ lessons so as to take from them and their shortcomings …a measure of a greater appreciation for a work whose wisdom and ethics’ esteem is capable of producing mindful pursuits …those which also produce meaningful fruit?

So, then …in means and measures far more productive …looking back is intended to look at that which is intentioned to grow from long-lasting, applicable understandings within efforts …less lazy; why not embrace a look back in a meaningful comparison …if not merely to remember what preoccupied our minds …if but for such a short time?

Therefore, in such a comparatively relative short period of time, I have to ask what has Congress to show for the passage of its time …in service to raise due diligence to a level …which is worthy of serving to provide greater oversight and higher …more nobler …more honorable levels of responsibility …and adherence to corporate governance in performance systems which demonstrates consideration for the priority of far more nobler assurances …those which strive to achieve to promote quality leadership by reason of adherence to high standards, transparency and the clarity of honest, open-door accountability?

In other words, other than our collective votes; what other enhanced ways and means of oversight has America accrued that serves to speak of improved achievable measures of oversight, safeguards …in openly improved levels of transparency?

That is to ask for an answer …in a solution which lies outside of a collective unified vote.

What above such as this are we promoting in the meantime?

Above all …I hope America is not promoting something somewhat …whatever which is less supportive of such?

For known …I honestly do not know, for I have not much lately so often heard mention of that which emphasizes openly such esteems.

Yet, in contrast …not long ago, there were calls for such every day …in almost every conversation ….transparency …openness …oversight …due diligence   and the likes which make for accountability.

So, where are we today in terms of our esteem and pursuits of that which promotes and supports the needed means and interests of the necessary means to achieve such transparency’s oversight and accountability?

Can anyone explain these answers in a comprehensive manner which speaks to leadership by example …any more than Congressman Paul Ryan?

Now there is a man with a message and the ways and the means …backed up by the will and good faith testament of “…We the People …!”

Therefore, I ask; what are we now pursuing moreover that which was so obviously lacking …in the wake of our failings whose pain may have sadly gone sooner forgotten than stirred and remembered if but only to serve better pursuits and means?

In this regard, I would hope to believe that America is more willing and able to take a heart in this tough, rather sobering history lesson…and so act in a more nobler manner …for, who would dare welcome yet one more opportunity if that opportunity was hell-bound and bent on repeating it?

God forbid!

 A Compromise Worthy of Consideration

Deferred AIG Bonuses  

Based Upon Performance

Stimulated with Cost Saving Incentives

For, they have no interest in one …and they are quickly losing interest in the other.
