Can Females Fix the Financial Crisis? Posted by Giulia Rozzi on February 11, 2009 at 7:42 pm

The Washington Post has a great article today about how a gender revolution may be necessary to end the world financial crisis. Most financial organizations that have led the downfall of the economy are primarily male-dominated, so perhaps a woman’s touch is needed to clean up this money mess.

“Clearly, something needs to change,” said Howard Archer, chief European and U.K. economist at IHS Global Insight in London. “You can argue that the men have made a right mess of it, and now the ladies should have a go.”
“Maybe if we had some more women in the boardrooms, we may not have seen as much risk-taking behavior,” said Hazel Blears, one of two female members of Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s cabinet who weighed in on the gender debate here this week. - Washington Post

Thanks a lot!! Why weren’t men paying attention to us sooner?! Mostly they would look at women and tell us it was all in our head! Which is where it should be - we have a BRAIN!

Women can help!
Women should start thinking about the environment and our children’s health.

We cannot afford jobs that pollute.

Why can’t we fix the economy by spending more money?
Our economy was built on the backs of people all over the world who used to live off the land. We took the land by force or by pretending to help. We built factories and mines, then put the people to work for wages. If they didn’t comply, we brought in the guns. Sadly we don’t pay much. They starve so we can have lots of cheap stuff.

Cancun is one example. The people who were there first lived off the land and fished the pristine beaches. We wanted to help so we bought the land, built hotels and hired the people back. We just didn’t pay very well because we wanted cheap, all inclusive holidays. The people that were there first now live in the garbage dumps behind the hotels.
How do I know? I met them before the entrepreuners got there.

What can we do?
At community levels, first we must evaluate the health of our people. We need to work together to ensure our children are safe and healthy. We need to job share. We need to spend more time raising our kids. We need to find more time to see that life can be good. We need to ensure our communities have a good, clean way to get food on the table and waste taken care of (no more sending our garbage to China!) We need to find the joy in the opposite sex again.

Our economy has to crash for the earth’s sake and all the people who are now living with nothing because we took it away for ourselves.

Besides, think for a minute. If you educate someone, will that person be content to take a factory job? NO.

I am horrified to think of the money that will now be needed to maintain our cities. Hasn’t anyone thought of that? Building something from scratch is easy; keeping it maintained is hard work. Our children will be left with huge cities decaying around them and no money or resources to keep them viable!

Our children want a better life! We can give it to them!

Let’s go, ladies!

Health before wealth!
Our men got it mixed up!
Maybe some of them believed the world is ending and wanted to throw one final party for the advantaged few. They did not evaluate the situation or they would have discovered it was their party that was causing the end of the world!!

PS I am just reading a book about the First Nations way of life. Women’s intuition was valuable back then and they were able to keep their population in check and live healthy happy lives. They believed in a loving GOD who provided everything needed to live a good life. When we got here we did not understand.

We need to change our so called economy into something that creates instead of destroys. I believe the First Nations people still have knowledge that we can tap into!

Everyone from both sexes and all races can help if we just listen.
Our children need to be listened to, also. I am afraid they are in a very unhealthy state thanks to our economy!

Down with economies!
Up with earth!

I wrote these awhile back and may have posted them before.
Here they are again.

We, the Women For the Preservation of Life

WE, The Women of the world, need to stand up and prove once and for all that we are wise.
Many of us where killed awhile back because we knew the earth was round. We also knew how to birth children and keep them healthy if they were born that way.
Our governments and business leaders are now destroying our lovely home planet on our behalf.
This means our children will not thrive.
We need to stop preferring boy babies. Girl babies are valuable because an overabundance of men brings more war and abuse.
We need to stop weapons and ammunition production. Military men will say that we will be defenseless but if it is stopped, the world will not be able to get more ammunition. It is big business that funds the making of mass destruction. Men can fight like men, using hand to hand combat. Besides, it is better to die for a cause than to kill for it, because we all have to die anyway.
We need to stop taking oil out of the ground. It is killing us in many ways.
We need to stop adding man-made toxins to our environment and products. They are making us sick.
We need to stop believing more is better. It is stressing us out.
We need to instill in every persons heart that it is wrong to abuse children, women, and men.
We need to instill in every person’s mind that that only truth will save us. Lies may bring temporary gain, but undermine survival.
We need to instill in every person’s being that what is on the planet is to be shared. Crime and terrorism is a result of disparity between rich and poor.
We need to instill in every person’s soul that natural death is a good ending. We need death so that our young have room to grow up and have children.
We need to convince our leaders that politics and religion do not and should not mix.
Then we can save the planet.

Anything else?

Dear Mystical Rose, watch over US now. We seek out your wisdom. To US please endow,
Knowledge and foresight so that we can vow, to push aside hate. To LOVE we will bow!
Mankind is in trouble. He’s killing our earth. We need to find peace, compassion, and mirth!
Please send me your GRACE. I know what it’s worth! Sofia, do we face chaos or rebirth?
Your feminine power is loving and wise. Please help US to tell the truths from the lies.
We want to understand your heavenly ties, that bind all together on earth to your skies!
We need to have faith, have hope and be strong. Many have waited and prayed for so long.
Wise women can help fix all that is wrong. I offer these words…..my Sofia’s Song!!

Love Lora Bruncke
