Have you made your own New Year's Resolutions list? I've started mine but I want to look at the bigger picture: New Year's resolutions for our nation. Of course the list is somewhat biased and was developed by only one person (me) but I would love to see the following for our nation in 2005:
- Citizens rally to impeach G'Dubya and effectively boot him and his entire administration out on their collective asses. Didn't they try to impeach Clinton for merely screwin' an intern? I do believe the G'Dub administation's fuck-ups are more severe and detrimental to our society -- hell, they have screwed the entire nation.
- The administration is replaced by moderates. What a freakin' concept.
- All of our soldiers return from Iraq after G'Dub finally concedes he fucked up and admits to the futility of the war.
- The end of our holy war -- where everyone is free to believe and practice whatever religion they want, or not, without said beliefs and practices being imposed on non-believers and non-practicers (pretend it's a word). Yeah.
- The return of the appropriate separation of church and state (see #4), as previously stated and now briefly reiterated once again:
The nation's founders, smarting still from the punitive pieties of Europe's state religions, were adamant about erecting a wall between organized religion and political authority.
- The exploding deficit is reversed. Don't ask me how 'cause at this moment I have no clue. I just want it reversed as it shouldn't have existed in the first place.
- G'Dubya isn't able to appoint any new justices to the Supreme Court before he is impeached.
- The 80s / early 90s hair and clothing styles make a comeback. I want big hair and high top fades (even the "eraserhead" style) again. Hell, let me see the ones with lightning bolts carved out in the back. I want leg warmers, stirrup pants, and spandex to return along with the oversized sweater or sweatshirt with one shoulder exposed. Hell, if the hippie look, hip-huggers, bellbottoms, and afros can do it, and have done it, this shouldn't be an unreasonable request or expectation. I'd like to resurrect half my closet. ;-)
- Stupidity, ignorance, violence, hatred, most "isms," cruelty, and all other ills plaguing this society cease.
- All automakers cease production on all SUV type vehicles. The SUV, including its big brother Hummer, are trashed and recyled into smaller, more economical and environmentally friendly vehicles.
And that is just the tip of the iceburg. A girl can dream.
If you wish to add to this list, feel free to do so in the comments. You have all of 2005 to speak up. :-D
