Globalization is a reality. And this makes most leaders today realize that populist illusions can’t be sustained before they collapse into stagnation and leave their political supporters deeply disillusioned. You can’t inflate away your troubles or allow mountains of debt to build up if, as a country, you have to make your living in a globally competitive environment… Building prosperity requires caution and patience. It requires time. Populism is a short cut that doesn’t work.

I have so many things going on at the moment that I can’t even begin to wrap my head around my next business trip to Sao Paulo. I hope things clear up tomorrow as I think the week is going to be a busy one. I need to fit in Argentina, Mexico, Panama and Austin as well. Gotta love it.
Have a listen to the latest rough track from Midnight Vice. The four of us finally got together on Saturday October 17, 2009 and this was the result.
We typically never go in with anything more than a little idea or a melody, try a few things out and then record to disc for further tweaking. I am happy with the result and look forward to some vocals in the next week or two. Comments please!
