It's Toffler to Huxley

 

April 19, 2008: Apparently a large portion of the Democrat party, along with some Republicans, are anxious for a change in the way the country's governance is conducted. And it's just as apparent that change for chanage's sake will do. 

So it looks like, according to what I think I'm hearing from the candidates - particularly the Democrat Party candidates - "future shock" is meeting "the brave new world". Alvin Toffler's shortest definition of future shock is a personal perception of "too much change in too short a period of time" ( see reference)

Listening to Senator Obama, we get a feeling that should he be elected, the country is willing to unite as one, where everything will be good for all people - sort of like Senator Clinton's "It Takes a Village" concept. So while we will be reeling from the effects of the sudden political change taking place, at the same time we will end up as one happy family (as long as nobody rocks the boat), and be happy in a zombie-like state of joy.

Maybe it's time for voters to read Huxley's and Toffler's books. Hopefully, the reading comprehension ability of those voters is "up to snuff".
