About Me and the Mission
The editor and owner of Author Article Directory Blog is Gerald David Greene who has worked full time on the Internet as a business developer and web master since 1998.
Gerald is a typical bright slightly crazed Gemini, and a left handed, blue eyed one at that. While he used to be a trim athlete and a handsome fellow the combination of age and since 1998 sitting for far too many hours a day in front of a computer have taken their toll. Gerald has unfortunately become 66 years old in a flash as well as a bit overweight while he watches in amazement as the world financial system fall apart. He doesn’t expect that the same bunch of rascals that caused the problems are going to be able to fix them and save the capitalistic system from itself.
Your editor is now trying hard to take a break for an hour or two a day and when living in Thailand take a sauna and swim. Sometimes it works out that way and sometimes too many hours pass by too quickly and the day is gone before the swim or sauna takes place. But he is determined to do better. Wish him well.
Gerald is an American by birth but has somehow managed to live overseas for much of his life. First as an Air force brat, than as a US Navy Seabee serving in Vietnam, than as a slightly crazed international business developer and forex trader for a Chinese company based in Hong Kong. Over the years Gerald has lived in Germany, France, Japan, Taiwan, Pakistan, The Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, and of course the good old USA.
Travel is a good thing in this world as you develop a better understanding of different cultures. If you live in different countries in the local economy, not in a private expat compound of some sort (like the green zone in Baghdad) you also learn that while cultures may be vastly different the underlying human traits, hopes, and desires of people around the world are not.
Like it or not we are all in this together. The sooner we take charge and tell the so called leaders and politicians that they must start serving the peoples of the world by developing resources to provide a better life for all instead of for a select few, the better off for the citizens of the world. The culture of fear and hate promoted by so many politicians of the day must be stopped or there will never be an end to the violence.
If only there were some true statesmen in sight rather than self serving politicians. Hopefully, some day if enough people unite around the world and say “enough” and “no more” to the corrupt and morally bankrupt leaders a brighter future will be there for all. If the countless billions being recklessly spend on arms and weapons systems were instead spent on housing, healthcare, fighting global warming, food production and a fair distribution of global resources, we would all benefit and could solve many of the world’s problems.
Unfortunately, that is a huge “if” as long as the current masters and Lords of War are in control.
Gerald presently resides in Thailand where he immensely enjoys the easy going and artistic nature of the Thai people. From his home in Thailand he has high speed broadband Internet service and is excited about working on several blogs.
