After posting yesterday's blog on the financial crisis, I couldn't stop thinking about how serious this problem is for the entire world. It worries me that the inflexibility in the positions of the liberal left thinkers and the conservative right thinkers is such that a coherent resolution to the crisis may not be forthcoming. I'm reminded of the " whose ox is getting gored syndrome". If the left believe a policy will result in their ox getting gored, they are going to fight it with all that they have. And equally for the right, if they believe a given policy will result in their ox getting gored, they will do everything possible to stop it.
Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas, nobody. Its not a matter of your ox or my ox. There is only ox and its' OUR OX and our ox is getting gored. I believe this crisis runs much deeper than we know. Now may be our only chance to get the fix right.
Sense or nonsense?
