Bobos - Shaken Not Stirred

If you wanted to make an entire nation feel off balance, anxious, and insecure, what would you do: this? or this? or both?

Let's face it. Bobo's ("bourgeois bohemians" - upper-middle-class meritocrats who root themselves simultaneously in the countercultural 60's and greedy 80's) are easy pickings for anybody who shakes their financial-security trees. These are turbulent days for them.

I'm blessed to have had operable cancer within the last five months, and an appendectomy within the last seventy-two hours, so I feel I carry some credibility here. Security isn't found in a great portfolio.

Let me pass on a little advice to any Bobo who may be reading this (I know, I know - not bloody likely):

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroys, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."

- Jesus, Matt. 6:19-21

Otherwise, you too will be easy pickings with the whole Wall Street meltdown thing ... not to mention terrorists, politicians right and left, or any other kind of con artist.
