Quote of the Day: Warren Buffett on converting thought into action

As I watch the strong reaction against the Left's policies enacted in the past two years I cannot help but be reminded of one of Warren Buffett's famous sayings. From the 2001 Berkshire Hathaway annual report:
"Predicting rain doesn't count; building arks does."

It is simply amazing to see the number of people try to claim they were against this health care debacle we have gotten ourselves into, or against the ridiculous levels of spending to try to support the economy without realizing that government spending produces exactly nothing (every penny spent on something was taken from someone else). Even Republicans, so-called fiscal conservatives, are guilty of this (voting yes on bailouts, for instance). Bear in mind that George W. Bush bailed out GM before he left office.

Well, it's not enough to say that you knew this would happen. Or that you support different actions now. Now it's too late. Actions count, not words. Actions when you could have done something. How did your representatives vote? Who did YOU vote for? Did you vote for "hope and change" without considering what it really meant? Shame on you if you did.

Don't just predict rain, build arks. Don't just talk, educate yourself and vote.
