Barack Obama promises "change" as though that would be a novelty in this nation in which tumultuous change is the only constant. Even conservatives do not (quite) believe that all change, of any sort or size, at any time, for any reason, is regrettable. The problem is, progress always goes on too long, leaving us waist-deep in unintended consequences. Soon we are saying "adios" to cherished familiarities.

Since it was a quote, I can't really append an "update", but in re-reading it this morning it struck me: Katarina was "change". Earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes all constitute "change" as well.
ReplyDeleteBeware the candidate of "change", unless you're sure that what he proposes to change really needs changing!
