When the status quo changes

When the status quo changes

Most people think their status quo will go on forever. It seldom does.  The only thing constant is change is “one oft repeated statement”.

Now the dinosaurs I suspect fought their own demise, and I would expect the same from humans experiencing the same kind of thing today. After all, “they” do want to live and keep things going as they know it. And, generally speaking, we need change.  The present courses we are on seem pretty crummy to me in the results I have to now deal with.

That’s why I expect much friction as “we the people” begin to assert ourselves more and more. Said another way, expect resistance in so many forms. Even some present day elected politicians game the system to get rich in their own right. And they won’t go down easily, either.

The big deal is most often we will use the vote (at least I hope so) to change things.  The alternatives are like revolution or civil war, and both are poor alternatives to me as a way to express the future of “we the people ruling through our own elected leaders”.  Said another way, fighting is often appealing to some until we begin wearing out for so many traditional reasons.  Said even another way, winning the peace is probably more important than winning the war.

Let’s vote the “poor and often immoral” leaders out, and reelect our “good and moral” leaders in such a manner as to help invoke the change so clearly called for. And then wait for the results, which do take time. And if they (the poor leaders) draw a retirement at tax payer expense, so what. In the end they will die and their retirement will go away. Even the present day Islamic religious fanatics will die off and go away, too.

Islam is a good religion to me, and not well represented to the mass public by today’s media. Now there are people to eliminate for sure, like kill, but relatively they are a small percentage, with their own financiers who are even a smaller percentage.

So is the sales pitch in this post.
