Years ago, I took a week long seminar as part of my sales management training. Subject of the seminar: Change and how to deal with it. Actually, I did well in the &#8216;test&#8217; they gave us at the end of the week; scored the highest grade ever given by instructor (it&#8217;s saved underneath a mock Academy Award I got for sneaking on the set of a Meryl Streep movie, filmed in Maplewood(cover of my novel) and getting in the movie. I was the biggest thing in that scene; Madison Square Garden mustard stained sweater and a US Open cap circa 1997 which I was alert enough to stuff in my back pocket. It was a period scene from 1988.) No one earthbound, sharing chromosomal make-up likes change. Avoiding any political diatribe, health reform is accepted as change; the river flows from the mountain top, melting snows (thank goodness we still have snow to melt and give us bottled water) fuel the gravitational flow. I told my nephew on Facebook a few moments ago, who&#8217;s upset about half the American population being upset, that Life&#8217;s First Strategy is &#8220;you either get it or you don&#8217;t.&#8221; And those 7 words took me four decades to accept, rationalize, digest, absorb and wear comfortably like those warm winter boots you don&#8217;t need socks for, which I let my wife give me as a gift and I love them now. Human nature is a fifty percent thing. Half always get it. Republicans or Democrats. And nothing will change that. Change fails to change the percentile.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When they write history books on all this, my fellow Americans, these will be the good old days. We&#8217;ll clench our fists and twitch our noses to get back to March 23, 2010. Bette Davis said in a classic movie scene, &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a bumpy night&#8221;(or something like that). It&#8217;s going to be a bumpy couple of decades, so for today and through 2014 and final implementation\u00a0of health reform; these ARE the best of times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Cal Schwartz\"\ttarget=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-button-plugin\/images\/standard-facebook-ico.png\" alt=\"Fb-Button\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"fcbk_like\"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/nature-nature-health-tomorrow-and-i-want-today-back-march-23-2010\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"button_count\"  share=\"false\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So the health reform passed.
