Adapting to Change

Whose responsibility is it in this country? The newcomers? The newborns? The elders? Those that were born and raised here? I just read a blog that it was the newcomers' responsibility, that America has a particular culture and we shouldn't adapt to those immigrating our land. It should be the other way around. She mentioned how everything has changed, that we can't say "Merry Christmas" anymore (even though I just wrote it). It has to be "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" and that offends her. Alright, so let me ask her this question. Does she think that African-Americans should still be slaves? That they shouldn't have the right to vote? That all our schools should still be segregated? That bathrooms should be separated for Anglo- and African-Americans? Give me a break. Change comes with the territory, especially in a Republic or "Democracy" like ours. Unless we want a dictatorship, we have to get use to change....
