Accepted changes that ruffle feathers Letter to the Editor: The word ‘change’ is currently used as a type o f mantra. Change can be good if it benefits the majority and doesn’t hurt anyone. However there are some presently accepted changes that ruffle my feathers. One instance is when someone addresses a group of men and women as “Hey, Guys!” Since when did women become guys? Wouldn't it be just as easy to say, ‘Hello folks’ or Hi people?’ Then there’s the current use of the word “troops.” Webster defines troops as a group of people organized as a unit, such as soldiers or actors, who are working together. So when did troop become singular - as is often stated in the news when referring to one individual military person? My former English teacher must be twisting in her shroud. No we have the presidential hopefuls chanting the word “change.” These individuals propose that, if elected, they have enough influence to instigate immediate changes including socialized medicine or subsidized higher educa tion. Then why haven’t they used this power to bring about changes while serving as senators? The word change definitely needs to be applied to Congress. This country elects representatives who are sup posed to act in the best interest of the majority o f people. Yet some of these officials seem to be more concerned with getting re-elected or using that position as a stepping-stone to a higher office. How can senators be representing their constituents while spending many months on the campaign trail? It’s about time that we had senators and representa tives willing to work towards a consensus on major issues. Representatives from both political parties are guilty o f not diligently working to resolve major issues like illegal immigration and funding for social security, things that could have and should have been dealt with years ago by Congress.
