One of the things I remember from physics class is the phenomenon of inertia. When something is moving, it resists stopping or changing direction. On the other hand, if an object is at rest it resists moving. Therefore, inertia is defined as the resistance to change of motion. Resistance to change isn't just isolated to physics.
People resist change even more than inanimate objects.
We get complacent with the way things are, and pitch a fit when someone comes along and shakes us out of our comfort zone. It has become apparent that changes are taking place in the amateur radio hobby, and I'm sure many of us do not like what we see. However, instead of holding on to the status quo, I think we will serve ourselves best if we take the lead and make the best of change. Right now, the changes focus on the FCC's preparations for a new amateur licensing structure. No matter how we may hate it, Morse code requirements will be diminished.
