Why Me? The General Governance Theory

As I was writing Monday’s post on “2 BIG 2 Work,” I
began thinking about the concept that perhaps the
problems now facing the United States and really
the broader world concept of globalization stems
from the reality all have gotten 2 BIG 2 fail and
simultaneously 2 BIG 2 work.
What a better closing paradigm for this “Why Me?” series! Failure isn’t my fault because everything just sort of quit working because of bad karma, and since I only think good thoughts about everything, except a few bad stuff moments, I am completely off the hook for all the bad stuff that happens.
Now I will have to admit the 2 BIG 2 Work concept was stolen from Dan Henninger of the Wall Street Journal. Whether it was original with him I do not know, but it surely does describe a whole lot of what is happening all around us. In the context that I heard from him, he was talking about the Federalization of too big to fail financial institutions, but what if the whole country at the national level is getting simply 2BIG 2 Work.
Albert Einstein gave us the Theory of Relativity, but he then spent the rest of his life trying to develop a scientific General Theory of Why, but was never able to get there. I would submit that without God it is a philosophic tautology, and with God it becomes undefinable, because of the natural limits of human created capacity. So if a real general theory is impossible for man, why not dumb it down and talk about just the universe of human governance?
We must begin in Ivy League prose where it goes something like, “The cognitive limited diversity of our educational paradigm provides incongruous perceptions of natural reality.” In the media perception of the Tea Party movement, “Wees’ jist don’t knows no betta!”
