Potential Energy

For some reason today, I found myself thinking about Potential Energy. Not the big grand idea of Potential Energy represented in physics by  U ...
But more like the middle school version of Potential Energy, where potential energy is the ability to do work.

I was listening to several governors discuss the the stimulus bill and why they were or were not for it; and why they were or were not going to take the money designated for their states. 

To me, the stimulus bill is a big boulder of middle school-defined potential energy. It's sitting up on a hill waiting to be rolled down. 

One or two of us pushing won't get this big boulder rolling. But if we were to all come together with a unified push ... oh, the amount of work we could get done!
