Well hopefully they will check the records, see that he made a 911 call and drop some of the charges.

But ummmmmm...... *claps his hands* Yay to innocence before proven guilty and justice for all! Or wait.....is it guilty until proven innocent? It seems more that way to me. *covers his mouth* I'm sorry....I'm sorry....

good story Skip.

Yes we do assimilate slow change into our societys but the only problem is which way are we changing. Are our societies slowly assimilating positive traits of a social heirarchy or negative traits? To be honest with you, I see more negative traits being assimilated then positive in this day and age. So yes, our societies will be slowly changing over many many years but the direction still has to be to the choosing of the people who live in the society. Like I said, we make society, we are society. There is not society and people, society is people. As every people change inherently every society will change, because we are the society.

This is simple, societal change is so simple, and this really is the choice, knowledge, fear, and obligation of many people. Many people must hold on to what they have and I feel capitalism is always going to be the most popular form of economy from now on, most likely the whole world will end up capitalist at some point and how our economy is run changes interactions between people greatly. Capitalism must exploit to work, that's where profit comes from. There is no compassion in capitalism and I see our world becoming so discompassionate, and people are becoming so detached from each other.

"I'm your boss, you treat me like this." "I'm your manager, you call me this." We build these heirarchal structures which basically are the equivalant of a caste system if anyone was serious enough to open their eyes and just see what we are doing to ourselves. I know this is how companies must be run but we build these egos, these superpowerful ridiculously rich moguls who make lobbyists and puppet politicians jump up and down in congress on their strings to screw everyone else over and give them the best opportunity to gain revenues.

So to answer your question, yes we will change slowly over time. But to which extent are we changing? Everyone is so secretive, greedy, jealous, etc etc. We are breeding people this way in our society! I'm not saying material goods aren't good, I enjoy watching a TV program like anybody else, but somewhere along the lines of our societal and mental evolution humans picked up the perceptions that "owning" an object makes you something special....when really, you can't technically own anything.

Ownership like most other things is just a trick you play on your mind to make yourself feel at ease. "I own this house, I can never lose it." False. Tomorrow a tornado could come and blow it away. All existance has to interact and use its environment for survival but now humans view our surrounding environments and objects we own as a definition of what our life is. This really scares me, I don't want to see our society falling farther into these trends.

Sorry, half of this really has nothing to do with your topic.....sorry. >_<
