Everything he said is EXACTLY what's wrong with the world. We've lost the way. Completely. And handed it to brutes who are nothing but greedy for more money and power.

I don't post often on this site, but I had to contribute to this. I want to be the change I want to see in this world.

Adieu.

On the surface, you cannot argue with Chaplin's words...or can you if they are put into context. Then it is a very clever manipulation except for one image inserted behind the one word "Promise,"and the final emphasis on the word "Change."

I sense the wind that blows the words of "Promise" and "Change" about us in the air these days. The smell is offensive, tainted--no, created--by long-harbored hate of anything and everything that has stood before. The spirit of this new wind is not honest. In the final analysis it is the same shout of the most blood-thirsty radical, "Tear it ALL down!"

We need to aspire to something even better.
