President Bill Clinton at American University in Dubai

Yesterday, Bill Clinton spoke at AUD. The take-away content-wise is that he is speaking a more progressive-minded language about income disparity and the dangers of unregulated capitalism. If only he had acted with that mind while he was in office instead of triangulating with Phil Graham and Alan Greenspan to set up the arena for the bubble-collapse rich-get-richer system in which we find ourselves. But enough about hindsight. Always forward!

bubble-collapse metaphor?

The event itself had a very uplifting pep-rally theme.

We were in the front row of seats directly behind the back aisle which meant that once the speech had started we were unfortunately the victims of the standing-room-only situation and the late arrival of some high school students in front of us who made comprehension a challenge. So we left early and sadly had to miss the balloon drop. But we heard it was amazing and provided the industrious and spirited students with the great opportunity to demonstrate, on a massive scale, global economic implosions while Clinton made for the helicopter.
