Act 6: Gravity Pulls Weight - The End

Act 6

Gravity pulls weight when it comes to balance and rebalance. Life's ups and downs and backs and forths swing to rhythms that defy rebalancing by mere mortals. When crusaders lead efforts to rebalance and redistribute global wealth, they confront balance sheets that resist global valuations. Economic forces respond to the Invisible Hand, as much as to the Heavy Foot.

Governments can manipulate economic wealth and tabulate dollars and cents; however, individuals create personal wealth, which transcends dollars, in ways that make sense.

Gandhi said, "There is more to life than simply increasing its speed." A corollary might be, "There is more to life than simply counting its beings."

Act 5: Atlas has the whole wide world in his hands

Act 5. He's got the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the little bitty baby in his hands. He's got you and me brother in his hand. He's got the whole world in his . . . (standby for final Act 6)

Act 4: Spinmeister

Act 4. Big wheel keeps on turning. Talk the Talk. Or, is it Walk the Walk? Well, it's Walk the Talk. Unless, that is, you're a spinmeister, in which case, it is Talk the Walk. Big wheel keeps on talking.

Act 3: Split the Difference

Splitting the difference can be problematic, when it is your split that is at stake. Two sides to a story are still one story. It takes two hemispheres to make one ball. Two people standing on top of two sky scrapers can't meet each other half way, until they get off their sky scrapers.

Act 2: Raising the Bar

Raising the bar and lowering the bar are relative actions. Higher is not always better. If raising the bar demands the use of questionable leverage (depending on a teleprompter), isn't a crash more likely than a victory? Who's bar is it, anyway? If a dictator raises the bar for creative suppression of the masses, would the goal be to match his or her raise, or to take down the gym set?

Act 1: Juggling Feathers and Seasons

How many balls you can juggle at one time can be determined by your juggling skills, but also by the size and weight of the balls. The earth is pretty big! Is it easier to juggle baseballs or bowling balls? A person with one arm is at a disadvantage, but with practice, may outperform a two armed braggadocio. While the orator is juggling syntax, the gardner is juggling seasons. Let me be perfectly clear, as the word pusher may be compelled to say, the weight of a word is a feather confronting winter.

Intro: Obama Global Rebalancing Act

Global rebalancing is a dream of the deranged and the dunce. It is hope and change repackaged for the globally naive. The fantasy needs Don Quixote and Sancho Panza to sell the Impossible Dream. A decrepit windmill does not a monster make. The fool overestimates his power to reshuffle planetary forces. The megalomaniac takes on the battle, where the enemy is himself. His prowess at harnessing words is no match for gravity. Unbalanced of the world, throw off your weights!
