These are dynamic times. Clinging to the tactics of the past, be it in combat or governance or economics, is not likely to be the path to success. The fundamentals are stable, it is how they must be approached that needs a major updating.

Just some things I am thinking about...
Apparently no on bothered to do that post 1965 and we can see where that got us.

The Wall went down in 89, took us (most of the World) 20 years to realize the world had changed (even though the signs were all there 20 years before...). I believe it'll take another 20 to get a moderately good sort on where to go -- and then 20 more to get all the Elephants turned in the generally right direction(s). In the interim, some Elephants may go rogue, others will certainly urinate all over everything in their vicinity -- or worse -- and some will try to mate at inopportune times. There will be, as always, Mice scurrying about creating pandemonium (and not really much else)...

Should be fun.

Those of us who relish change are looking forward to it and the opportunities that will be presented. Others are less happy. Unfortunately for both categories of persons and those in between, governments hew to neither view and, generally, will ask "What do we do now?" as they play Switch...
