Dear readers, amidst all the mayhem, I just couldn`t pick up my pen to write these words until the dust settled a little. The infamous Crisis is by now becoming somewhat of an irritation to all those in power, who are now having to give-up their bonuses and declare their profit making strategies to governments who are saving them from complete bankruptcy.

The depressing cry of many comes forth at this act, but surely this can be a good thing in my eyes, when done wisely. Peter Drucker, a famous Viennese management theorist extolled the virtues of large corporations if they were accountable to the public. He saw the government`s role as a regulator to make vast organizations do so. However, what we have seen in over the past four years is a quite a different story. Cloaked in secrecy, privatization has had a darker face, with corruption being the primary motivating factor.

Now, on the brink of bankruptcy, perhaps it is now large corporations and banks really will do as they should by putting their profits into NGO`s and their projects that actually work, instead of just silly little projects that neither work nor have any social value and are just marketing projects to prove that they are not really all that mean and stingy-wink, wink “just as long as we don`t tell the docile public that we`re actually doing it because big we don`t have to pay as much tax on these little artsy projects”...um, you won`t get away that easily this time.

Now, governments can really begin to their job-regulate and make transparent those dark materials. I am happy about the standstill, it means all those silly little projects will just disappear and the real deal, the ones that actually are sustainable, that actually work can stand-up....yes, over there, can the real NGO please stand-up..it`s funny, then all the impostors will look rather silly, won`t they?

Governments were never the ones to dynamically navigate their way through public life, they are far too bureaucratic and cumbersome. Things just take far too long, meanwhile, the public`s situation gets worse while they wait and turn to fool and folly in impatience. NGO`s are small and mobile enough to navigate in to the tight spaces where the issues are really going on-with the people, in small, dynamic and changeable groups.

However, there have been far too many on the scene all with the same catchphrase of making the world a better place, with no real idea about how to do that, on the ground level, but a very strong network base on the higher level to mobile the funds into their seemingly angelic tax-write off accounts. Time for a change, o boy Obama, time for a change, will the real deal please stand up...it`s time to be counted.
