A critical creative look at issues of Economics, Politics and Finding a Purpose in Life - Let's talk about it. I try to leave the woodpile higher than I found it.

I wonder how this would work in certain parts of Chicago or Detroit or
Cleveland or... you pick the city? We don't have a crime and violence
problem, we have a cultural problem.
Congratulations
to Hawaii and Alabama, just named the most honest states in America.
The beverage company Honest Tea set up unmanned booths offering bottles
of tea. A sign asked buyers to put a dollar per bottle in a collection
box, on the honor system. On average, 92 percent of Americans paid.
But only in Hawaii and Alabama did 100 percent pony up the dollar. The
company’s CEO said it was reassuring to
know that 92 percent of Americans will do the right thing, even when
nobody’s watching. In fact, there was only one example of extreme
dishonesty. When they were conducting the experiment in Washington,
DC…somebody stole his bicycle. Well, don’t think of it as stealing.
Think of it as “sharing the wealth.”
