-lots of differing ideas , --all passionately expressed.
-Of course America is going to change. America of today is different than America of the 1960s. Some of us have benefitted from some of teh changes, and some not. At one time unions were needed; then they over-reached. Discrimination needed to be revresed; now reverse discrimination needs to be reigned in. The War on Poverty was waged, and poverty has seemed to have won. Etc, etc, etc, ...
-Yes, change is inevitable; but certain results are not.
=What the last election was about, in my assessment, was a rejection of 1) Republican spending, 2) a tiredness of an ineffectual Iraq strategy, and 3)jobs. The people wanted those things changed.
-The American people did not, and would not, vote to make America a socialist country in a socialist world.
-Almost every example of a socialist country is an example of failure. Almost every worker in almost every socialist country throughout the world had but one dream, -as so well song by Neil Diamond-, that dream was "Coming to America!"
-Only incompetent people "let" change happen, waiting to see where it goes. Competent people have a vision, attempt to "manage" change to conform with that vision, and keep on gonig till that vision is a reality.
-This is a time of competing visions for America. Unfortunately, while the Czar brain trust is working to their long-term vision for America, they are distracting the rest of us with short-term changes focusing on short-term results. most of us are worrying about individual trees being trimmed or cut down, while the forrest is being ravaged!
