I agree. 

One thing is certain: things don't stay the same.
The world is dynamic, everything must change.
Only the laws of nature won't be compromised.
Change should never be a surprise.

That includes the unsustainable mindset that seems to think we can keep on developing at any cost. I suggest if you want to embrace change, look to changing the status quo, because the thing you are promoting is more of the same. Real change would be making sure we aren't growing beyond our means, both regionally and globally.

I'll repeat myself since you don't seem to understand, I am not against "every new business that might come along that sells a product that you personally don't feel an immediate need for" as you wrote. I don't shop at most stores, yet I don't get in their way. That isn't a big deal for me. But I do try to support locally-owned stores (which is why I've had you make copies of keys for mees) even if they, oh Lord, are in Whitman County.

If you find what I have to say tedious to read, then just ignore me. You seemed to do that with the questions I specifically asked you regarding the conscience rule after you wrote "The question that everyone continues to not answer..." implying you expect an answer to your questions, yet when convenient, don't answer those asked of you.

That's what's tedious, at least to me.

I'm glad you agree we are all entitled to our opinions, which is all I'm doing: expressing my opinion. We can hash out our disagreements, and perhaps find common ground, though I imagine we just see things completely differently.
