The Pendulum Theory

The Pendulum Theory would really fit into this line of thinking. I believe everything in life is like the little ball on the end of a pendulum. It swings way up on one side, then back to the middle, and then way up on the other side. I see this coming with political correctness most of all, that and the way people are raising their kids. The majority of people are getting so sick of political correctness that it's going to come crashing down and we'll find ourselves on the other side of the middle, if you know what I mean. Does this make sense? I don't know if I wrote it down very well, but you guys can figure out what I'm trying to say here.

As for your new beginning, I think it will be slower than you want. It'll be gradual and most people won't even notice it changing. A slow swinging pendulum if you will. Like the old saying about boiling a frog. If you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, he'll jump right out. If you put him in a pot of warm water, and slowly turn up the heat, he'll stay there until he dies. (Just so you know, no, I haven't tested this theory.) The majority of the population can't handle a drastic change, you'll have to warm them up to it.

Anyway, I had to chime in, later, Me.
