Imagine for a minute which
figure represents nothing.
It is nought, in mathematical
script O.
What does or dare I say, what
can one add to zero that makes
it different?
It, for example could become a
p or a d, in which case a POD.
If one opens the shell we find
Peas, all in a row, all the same
size, all the same colour, so in
effect, nothing changed.

The illusion of change is created
by words, such as, Alter, Differ,
Turn, Amend, Improve, Modify,
Convert, Revise, Recast, Reform,
Reshape, Refashion, Redesign,
Restyle, Revamp, Rework, Remake,
Remodel, Remould, Redo, Reconstruct,
Reorganize, Reorder, Refine, Reorient,
Vary, Transform, Transfigure, Transmute,
Metamorphose, Undergo, Permute, Exchange,
Interchange, Switch, Convert, Replace, Rotate, Substitute,
or Vote.

Antonyms : Stay the same, Keep, Preserve.

Which is why there is no difference between
a Politician and a Magician.

It is always the same, either a Rabbit or a Pigeon.

Democracy gives one two choices.

No different than putting two shovels
against a wall and asking a builders
labourer to take his PICK.
