Change
Newsflash!!!! The Flower Child has friends who are Democrats and friends who are Republicans.
At 11:00 A.M. Today, Friday November 7th, sixty hours will have elapsed since that moment in History - 11:00 P.M. ET on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 when the electronic media in the United States of America announced that the 55 electorical college votes from the State of California would give candidate Barack H. Obama the Votes necessary to become the forty-fourth President of this Great Country.
Since that Historic Moment I have been observing what my peers and fellow citizens have been doing:
  • A Democrat Friend asked me "How Are You Doing?"
  • A Republican Friend asked me why I have not yet posted a "Blog" entry about the recently completed Historic Presidential Election.

In addition to considering the above queries I have engaged in some serious observations of what is happening around me. As but one individual I have observed the following:

  • Married couples are still enjoying sexual activity.
  • Teenagers are still probably conducting exploration activities.
  • Senior Citizens are still conducting their weekly marketing activities on Wednesday at Kroger.
  • The Landscaping/Lawn Maintenance Firms are still maintaining the gardens of my neighbors homes.
  • Children are still riding school buses to the many Public Education Facilities here in West Bibb County.
  • Children are riding in their Mom's SUVs to gain access to the plethora of Private Schools that abound in West Bibb County.
  • Children who have the use of an automotible are still driving to various Schools. Some even operate Hummer SUVs and Porsche Automobiles.
  • Citizens are still praying for the well being of our Nation's Defenders who are engaged in the War on Terrorism as well as their respective families.
  • The College and Professional Football Schedules and the various team's performances still dominate the Sports Pages of print media as well as capture considerable time in the electronic media.
  • Those who choose to break our Nation's Laws are still conducting their criminal activity.
  • Moms and Dads still have high expectations for their progeny.
  • The Obituaries of the recently deceased/departed are still being published, although the name of the page in the local print media is now known as the "In Memory" page.
  • OB/GYN Professionals still have a full patient load.
  • The Child birthing facilities at our Health Care Centers are still active.

Yes, we as a people have a lot to look forward to. We as a people have a lot to accomplish in the future; but I am reminded of an adage I have often heard:

"The More Things Change, The More They Remain The Same!!!!"

God Bless Us All!!!!!!
