These people (the news pundits, the politicians, and the investors) should all grow some intestinal fortitude, slow down, take a breath, and think through the financial crisis and so-called [...]

Blind Spots and the Perception of Reality

Wow, a co-worker forwarded this link about the Blind Spot each of our eyes has and it got me to thinking a little.

Spam phone calls at work from 800-969-8542
