Hope and Change

The Democrats boil their message down to "Hope" (Clinton) or "Change" (Obama). These words suggest all sorts of positive values, yet offer nothing "real". While I offer the "hope" that my "changes" will make most peoples' lives somehow better, I do understand that some powerful folk stand to lose all that they hold dearest in the exchange. not their freedoms, not their rights, mainly their ability to wield their dark powers over others.
