I heard a story once about a dog that would sit on the same step of his owner's porch for years.
Day in day out he would sit on the same step.
Over the years the step wore out and nails and splinters started showing through the boards.
The dog however would continue to sit on the same step, even though on occasion he would moan and yelp as a splinter dug into him or a nail scratched him.
The pain of sitting there was less painful than the idea of having to change his ways and perhaps move to a less painful part of the step.
We are a lot like that dog.
We know the current government system is wearing out.
It needs upgrading to a newer model.
But the thought of changing to an unknown or untested governing system is more painful than just going with the flow of the current system.
There is no doubt that change is needed because if we keep going in the same direction we are likely to end up where we are headed.
The step is only getting thinner.
At same point it is going to break and the dog will be forced to consider something new.
It would be a good idea to give the system a much-needed service now, before it breaks down altogether.
His mind is like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set.
That may well be the quote we have to contend with when considering any change in Government.
Life is full of many changes that happen naturally but when faced with reason to make a drastic change that could be considered "life altering" we ask ourselves if its absolutely necessary and 9 times out of 10 we end up doing what we always done.
5 Key reasons for change:

1. The world is changing and Governments are not The system needs to catch up with the wants and needs of the Country.
   
2. Governments are at a point where they are governing people and not services such as Health and Education.
   
3. Governments today are focusing more on their own power and less on the services they are governing for the people.
   
4. There are currently too many levels of government.
   
5. Governments DO need to exist to provide a systemised deliverance to services such as Health and Education as well as support for businesses.
   Governments are also required to provide domestic services like waste removal and water supply.
   

We have to be willing to accept change.
