The Glacial Pace of Change

The frustrating thing for me is how little we humans really change. Here we still are, fighting and feuding with one another, trying to be big shots and make our mark before death claims us, learning little, changing less, self-destructively flying in the face of reason or lying in an open grave of reasonableness.

George W. Bush is president of the United States for Christ's sake!

The "7 Up" series of films, which tracks a group of British children throughout their lives every seven years is based on this premise:

"Show me the child at seven and I will show you the man."

How depressingly accurate.

When will we ever learn?
