What are the Changes?

Both parties are now claiming to be the party of change! The fact that change is necessary is a no brainer, but what are they going to change?

Change the present administration? That's another no brainer.

Change our freedoms; the right to bear arms or a woman's right to an abortion?

Change our practice of freedom to do anything you want to until you're caught breaking the law?

The fundamental freedom for Americans is the freedom of religion, and that's pretty well guaranteed. How about freedom from religion; not forcing others to do everything "our way" just because it is our personal religious belief. That might be a change!

The main concern in our society is the Economy. Everything revolves around our economy, even religion. Free business enterprise is our chosen system for every individual to gain a fair share of material wealth without stealing or going to war. But we may need some changes to curb exploitation and abuse.
Perhaps that is the change we need now.

Does our economic future depend on continuing to cater and subsidize unrestrained greed at all costs. Can't Big Business suceed without the freedom to exploit and manipulate loop holes in the law until they cause a disaster? (ie Savings and Loan Scandal, Exon Scandal, current mortgage disaster, etc.) Do we have to depend upon foreign oil because those in power are partners with the foreign oil interests and we have built a transportation system and subsideary industries that need oil? How about changing our dependency on foreign oil? That might be a good change.
