New Years wish
I don’t make New Years resolutions. I know myself well enough at this point to know that I’m a whimsical thing with a very short attention span. Besides, any day is a good day to start something better, why wait until the year passes?
So I wish:
I wish for world peace. I wish people could get the idea across to politicians (from the school board up to the executive branch) that peace starts in the home, in the neighborhood, and in the streets. If we want peace “over there” then we need to work on having it “over here.” (PS Violating and/or ignoring Constitutional rights does not produce peace anywhere at any time, nor does a police/nanny-state produce peace.)
I wish for slow news days, fair elections, and the front page coverage of cute baby animals from around the world.
I wish for affordable housing, wholesome food, and extravagant displays of art for everyone.
I wish the advancements of science and technology take more attention than the latest news of Paris Hilton. I wish Paris Hilton would find something useful to do with her existence.
I wish the public schools could complain of all the extra money (from private donations, not taxes) they have to assign to art, science, math, music, and life skills programs.
I wish for more bicycles on the streets, more trees in the cities, and more music everywhere.
I wish all of you a happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
All good wishes for the world. My best to you in 2008
