Hope and Change

Regarding Barack Obama's mantra of "Change" and "Hope" :

"All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward." - American novelist Ellen Glasgow

"But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of." - British poet Lord Byron

"Don't go changin', to try and please me..." - American songwriter, performer and piano man William Joel

"I hope you're a Republican." - Ronald Reagan to his doctor after being shot.

Any woman who has been through The Change will tell you change is not necessarily good, baby.

At this point I'm rather like The Bellamy Brothers' "Old Hippie":

"... And behind each wave of tragedy / He waited for the joy / Now this world may change around him / But he just can't change no more ..."

Especially when it's toward a socialism my generation was raised to recognize as the enemy.

Which of course doesn't explain Hillary.
