Sunday is the beginning of a New Year, 2012, blow the horns and herald the coming of a new page to right the wrongs of the previous year! Each new year offers us a new beginning to do better then before, to wipe the slate clean of ideas that are not helpful, and to build a new and better World to live in! The only thing that stops the progress that could be made is hanging on to ideas that don't work and calling it traditions. The only traditions that should be followed are GOOD traditions that help people and work for The Common Good. Let BAD traditions ,like not helping The 99%,evaporate into the atmosphere never to be seen again.
Let 2012 be a year of rapid job growth and the opening of new factories and businesses in the USA. Let companies that put their companies in other countries realize that cheap worker's with minimal training are not as skilled as our American workers and bring back the businesses to The USA. Make companies honor those who have BA degrees(like me) and give us more consideration then those who don't!
Let this be a Peaceful World and make countries settle their disputes at The World Court not the battlefields! Let civilized behavior rule the World. Let Humanity be run by Humane leaders. Let the heroes be truly heroic!
Treat maturing people like anyone else. Let us work until we drop, no mandatory retirement and equal access to all jobs. Help maturing people prolong their lives by having commercials promote health foods, physical exercise, and health clubs not power chairs, oxygen devices and NO insurance companies selling Death insurance!
Since the Civil Right marches were over 50 years ago let The Media reflect that some progress has been made. Have more bi-racial couples be featured in commercials (Black man-White woman) or (Native American Woman- White man)! Have sports teams abandon Native American team names to honor Anishinabes!
Let 2012 be a year where more people cease the use of tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, and recreational drugs. Let this country and this World be CLEAN AND SOBER!
Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed New Year! May success follow you wherever you go!
