I'm more an individual than people like you who are sucked along with the

Again, change to what?  Just because you find change is good for you does
not mean it is good for everyone.  Wake up and realize that small tidbit
of info, well you?  I must ask this; aren't you just somewhat self-serving
here, hoping that by change you will realize some goal that is good for you
but has no real impact on the rest of us?  If this is the case then good 
for you, I hope you realize your goals.  In this case, change can be good
for you and totally indifferent to me.
