Powerful change
Changes in the middle east following Yassar Arafat's death. Is this a new chance for peace in the middle east? Everyone who has a say, says so.
Changes on the major TV networks following on actual and annouced retirements of Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw. Is this a chance for a different sort of new reporting, less governed by one person? We're still out on that one.
Walmart may be seeing the first signs that it cannot grow like kudzu forever. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Those guys one or two generations above me are letting go of the strings leaving us inklings of hope. Perhaps opportunity to do things a bit better. More in tune. More generously.
It's the changing of the old guard. What do we want instead, besides world peace?

Arafat sold out the Palestinian people and got very rich doing it. And so long as it pays so well to broker hatred, how's anything ever going to change?
Those who are principled, who care about sustainability and are prepared to give up even a bit of today's relative advantage for tomorrow's progress constitute a minuscule minority. Regardless whether old or new guard, no?
That being the case, the world will continue as a vale of tears. Genuinely good deeds will never go unpunished. And those prepared to suffer for doing right shall remain a minuscule minority.
But they'll continue to be rewarded, too. In an almost biblical sense.
