Change – Everybody is Talking About it Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon...everything's different. - Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. - Nelson Mandela In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. - Author unknown Change does not change tradition. It strengthens it. Change is a challenge and an opportunity; not a threat. - Prince Phillip of England

I wonder what would have happened if she had watched Bowling for Columbine or The Pirates of the Caribbean
