No Spare Change - By Observers

"Change is upon us," says Bill Eckhardt. "It comes at an unnerving pace. Our foreign policy, our economy, our medical system, our means of communication, indeed the very basis of much of our knowledge seems to change daily. Change causes anxiety which can only be calmed with a commitment to educate ourselves so that it becomes less frightening. Change must be a friend rather than a foe. My hope for (today) is that (we) will do better at becoming comfortable with Change. That is quite a task for a society that now doubles it’s knowledge every seven years - but a very necessary one." To which we can at the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said, "One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. - - One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. - - -The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. - - When scientific power outruns moral power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men." We don't have any time to spare....
It might be an understatement to say that the human race needs to wake up and Change.
But Will We ?
