Waiting For Change

Share
Today Senator Obama took credit for the phrase spoken by Alice Walker, "We are the ones we've been waiting for," which is one of the most nonsensical things I've ever heard. If you're waiting, you're not doing. In the case of Liberals and Socialists, however, that's precisely what I want them to do.

Every time I hear that asinine song from John Mayer "Waiting on the World to Change", my blood boils. The people among which he counts himself really don't understand the world. They think the world revolves around them. Although he sings about wanting the troops to come home, I doubt very much he would ever join them in their fight, even when the fight comes to our own shore (it already has). He thinks that the agents of counter-change own information, but it is precisely the same people who agree with him who own the media: the blame America first, bring the troops home now, and "Obama is for Change" crowd of liberals that own and run all the media outlets, all the while claiming that conservatives want to hold people back.

As a scientist, I know that nothing changes for the better without a catalyst. Entropy always increases, and the activation energy to put things right is very high without some type of addition to lower the threshold and make things possible. If you wait for something to change things, it will inevitably result that negative changes occur.

This is partly why the Founding Fathers made it so difficult and so long a process to change anything in our government. They knew that if it took time to make bad changes, it would buy time for agents of positive change to organize and prevent entropic forces of destruction. If agents of negative change could revert the nation in the blink of an eye to a stone age state, it would destroy all that they built. Learn from Lando Calrissian; you cannot make a deal with the devil and keep him out. You cannot compromise on things that matter and find that you get your way.

I fear the day when that generation rises to rule the population. For now, I thank my lucky stars that they're just waiting for the world to change. While you wait, I'm going to change it.
