what we need is less change

well even tho we just got through an election, already the campaign for '08 is in the works.

I have one compalint about this process, and that is the use of the word "change."

I am amazed at how often I hear politicians offer us "change." I appreciate the need for change, but I wonder if politicians know what this word means. After all, we have been repeatedly promised "change" every two years sice I can remember voting, and, other than little old ladies being required to take their shoes off before boarding at the airport, I have seen very little change anywhere.

granted, I suppose there has been some "change," but most of them have not necessarily been good. i think a politicain should least offer "good change."

Clearly, since "change" has been promised so many times and so many people have been elected to provide it and so little change has occurred, I think my definition of the word must mean something else. I guess "we need change" really just means we're going to stay the same but different people will be paid for providing this lack of any other difference. oh well, it IS a change . . .
