“Good night America, how are you?”

Land Of Confusion: Where The Only Constant Is Change

06/25/05 "ICH" - - Ever want to change things? Ever want to do something - or more realistically – ever want to be part of a movement or a group that does something which, once it’s been done, effects a cultural or physical change that in turn affects just about everybody else in some way - even those billions who have no idea that something’s changed? Ever want to do that?

If your answer is yes, but you’ve never tried it, I say, try it. By all means, try it. Or at the very least, if such an opportunity presents itself, don’t step aside. Confront it. See where it takes you, or where you take it. Change is what life is all about. Quality of life is what change is all about.

The world could really use a change right now, especially one that starts here at home. If it starts here at home, it could be a peaceful change. Because, make no mistake about it, the rest of the world cannot, and will not, coexist with the cultural aberration that is America under George W. Bush. There’s just too much imbalance. Which imbalance, when coupled with our current diplomatic arrogance, will inevitably lead to crisis if left to fester. History is explicit on this.

So, if the 150 million Americans who are unhappy about the direction our country is being taken, each made an effort to invoke a difference, however microscopic, the aggregate effect would be one of (Dare I borrow a word from the Republicans…?) “Biblical” proportions.

But only if that change is self-imposed might it be effected without the usual Biblical slaughter.

Simply stated, if we 150 million concerned Americans take the initiative and change our current leaderships’ behavior in the world, we won’t be subjected to whatever solution the 6.5 billion equally-concerned, non-American’s eventually come up with in seeking quiescence without us.

You would be astounded at how easy it can be to help effect change. C’mon, if psychotic jerks like Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush can go around changing the entire world whenever they feel like it, why can’t decent, normal people change things a bit too? There are more of us than of them. In fact, if marginal people such as Bush and his puppet masters change the world in ways we decent normal people don’t like or that we’re reasonably certain will bring enslavement or premature death to countless of our children and grandchildren (or anyone else’s, for that matter), shouldn't we be concerned enough about those changes to at least attempt to set things right again? It’s our world too. Isn’t it?

Hell yes!’ says I.

Can we look about us, see what’s happening to our world, remain passive, and continue to call ourselves decent normal people?

“Hell no!” sez I >>>continued
