HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. Here's to all of us who made it through, yet again. Here's to actually doing something to make 2010 an even more human year for everyone.
Let's each pick one cause, and try to help. Getting rid of the World Trade Organization would be a GREAT place to start. Lobby your political representatives, no matter where you are in the world. Keep religion out of politics, you could tell them... look at what happened in Iran, and Pakistan, and Afghanistan, e.g., if you don't... chaos, and brutality. Keep the religious right from running the USA... they are INSANE ! There are many things that can be fixed, but one has to scare the dumb-ass politicians to get it done. Write a letter... letters have way more impact than phone calls, and emails... or, do it all !
It would be terrific if we could say, at the end of 2010, that we had an influence on making the world safer, more tolerant, and more fair for everyone... and those pricks on Wall Street who caused such hardship for millions, should be regulated out of existence... That would make many ordinary people happier.
Above all, may we all have the strength to face the obstacles without flinching, and the ability to smile when things don't go our way, and patience to help those who need our help. We are all simply humans trying to better.
I love you all, and admire your posts, and your loyalty, and it is a great gift to know you all.
