A Change is Gonna Come.

Paul McCartney once said that: "if this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry... live & let die." And in a way, he is right, it is an ever changing world; for example for the longest time people looked for deep and hidden meanings in the lyrics of people like Paul McCartney, I'm not going to do that because that has been done to death, I am simply going to correct this because times they are a changing. "but-if-this-ever-changing-world" its okay so far. "in-which-we-live-in" [?] No, its gone weird, why do you need in which we live in there thats better, but its still not quite right. It works on microsoft word as a sentence but its probably been specifically made that way by by Bill Gates who was probably a massive Beatles fan.



Gates, with the complete recordings of the Beatles using the latest zip file technology.

There are rules in the english language which are often ignored stating that a sentence shouldn't finish on a pre-supposition. Although some people suggest that these rules have changed. I will change the lyrics "in this ever changing world in which we live in" to "The world changes and we live on said world." It seems to fit the song better as well, so I shall be expecting 15% of the songs royalties from now on.

Changing song lyrics of from members of the Beatles is a change for the better, but can all changes be deemed a good thing? It's probably the next place to go from here.



Barrack Obama's tagline for his presidential campaign was Change, this is a bold move because historically people fear change, for example whenever Facebook changes its interface, adds 'like' buttons or 'timelines' people get decidedly shitty, so for Obama to promise change if he got into power was inclredibly risky... However Obama was aware of this and that is why, when he finally got into power as President of the United States of Amarakah, he didn't make any changes. Genius.



"We still here then?"

So sticking to the point lets have a look at what changes are good and what changes are bad.

GOOD CHANGE



The Berlin Wall coming down was good, because of unity and all that kind of stuff, hugging and stuff.



Breakthroughs in medicinal science.



Change is pretty good, you find it down the side of sofas and occaisionally in back pockets of the jeans you were wearing to the pub last week and you can go on to exchange it for products in shops.



Like Rice.

BAD CHANGE

Unscheduled Changes to Bus timetables "...bloody rubbish, late for work and stuff, got to the bus stop and the bloody timetables all changed."- Thats the kind of conversation that you might have with someone who doesn't like the changes



"...bloody rubbish, late for work and stuff, yeah, got to the bus stop and the station was submerged in 10 feet of a combination of rain and river water."- The sort of things you might hear from someone who doesn't like climate change.



"George Bush doesn't care about black people"
Influx of foreigners... "...bloody rubbish, late for work and stuff, yeah, got to the bus stop and the racial makeup of the entire nation, all changed."- The sort of thing you hear from someone who doesn't like the influx of foreigners.



or the Sugababes.

So essentially, people who are resistant to change are more likely to be racists or environmentalists, and are likely to blame either on them being late for work, you never seem to get prompt people who are resistant to change although I am pretty sure some environmentalists are also racist, there are some people who believe that enviromentalism is a form of racism

So with only 3 examples of good change and 3 examples of bad change, or 1 example of bad change reworded to make it sound like its 3, we're at a point where we still don't know whether change is good or not.
