Change: Good Or Bad?

The simple answer is that 'Change in itself, is neutral .'
In my lifetime, I have seen too many changes before they were demonstrably needed.
There can be a simple rule of thumb brought into play: No change which cannot be proven to be an improvement should be tolerated and the other side of that same coin is, 'If it ain't broke then don't fix it!'
Politicians, do-gooders, meddlers, interferers, proponents of the Nanny State and those who seek self-aggrandisement are the ones who have been the donkeys to our lions over generations.
Our system makes it far too easy for what is effectively the bureaucratic mentality, to hold sway.
