INTERCONNECTIVITY (strikes)

My dad used to say "everything is interconnected." It's a fun way of going about your day, trying to figure out, say, how the dog playing with the squeaky toy is related to something that's no fun at all like, oh, health care legislation that everybody is screaming about.

The Dog and the Squeaky Toy: Blanche, my dog, pounces ferociously on a stuffed ball with a squeaker inside, then chomps it repeatedly while shaking her head furiously. After a minute or two of shaking and squeaking, she tosses it aside and pounces again. For all that it's cute (or annoying if you are sensitive to noise), the squeak represents what would be in the wild some bunny or mouse she was killing. Ah! the joys of being a predator, even if it's pretend.

Now some prey is helpless, like a mouse. And some, like your wildebeast in Africa, is not helpless so long as it is in a herd. If your lion attacked the whole herd, the alpha male members along with a mother or two protecting her child will kill the lion.

Okay. Now, say the predator is Management and the herd is The Workers and if they can keep things in ecological balance, both of sides thrive. But a little drought or economic downturn, and the imbalance might not stop until there's mass starvation on one side or the other - worldwide depression or massive walkouts and strikes.

So when you got Wall Street and bailouts and bankruptcies everywhere, even I can see it means something is out of whack in the ecological balance of management and worker. The employers are all saying they can't afford the rising cost of health insurance which they, not the workers negotiate, and that workers will have to shoulder a bigger share of the financial burden. But I say look at the balance sheets.

The wealthy in America are getting richer every day, even with all the financial fiascos of the last few years. The wealth of the wealthy is rising and the herd of workers is getting irked that the lions want to come right in the middle and devour the heart of the herd instead of culling the weak. This is not going down so good with the workers, and hence strikes all over the place. All the talk about rising health costs is a blind for the real battle of predator and prey.

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of rightful dish out space staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate emphasis and decent fantasize just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've eternally at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Manifest Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a tuneful belt, a spinning exceed, and a berate show all rolled into one. Which is capacious entertainment! The gyroscope will outing after in the air a minute. The laser enlightenment display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a pretty unequalled bauble that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking curious nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser light advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but virtuous save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused nearby it. Sometimes it's proper to maintain fun toys on all sides the ancestry so that you can pull out the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for foodstuffs or receive changed. The gyroscope is a particular such play with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a design on it, and produces a dainty show with red, dispirited, and unripened colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but good plenty to treat any new roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look very cold, and measure arrogant with that dragon imprint.

The music light inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the hotel latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser torchlight expose produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a degree romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, at near the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping locality suitable all gifts and ideas in support of romanticist occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance upstage gyroscope can perhaps be a momentous Christmas give-away in behalf of the toddler or neutral the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a nice addition to the usual Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it near the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject still again!
