Happy New Year

JANUARY 2, 2005 BY SUSAN J

For 2005 I wish for…

– Help for those affected by the tsunamis;

– Peace for the Congo, Iraq, Colombia and every other place affected by war and violence;

– Adequate food and clean water for everyone on the planet;

– Every person driving a gas guzzler to switch to a bike or a Smart Car (I personally would like a Jamis Earth Cruiser AND a Smart Car);

-The whole growth-at-all-cost, pro-development mindset to be transformed into a pro-restoration/conservation movement. And that the people currently clearcutting Vancouver Island and forests elsewhere to suddenly realize that it’s kind of a short-sighted thing to do.

– That all people, including me, stop being such greedy bastards and share a bit more. That includes The Donald and all those grasping yuppies on The Apprentice.

Isn’t it sad that my wishes sound so very naive? Oh well, I wish ’em anyway.

Peace all. Or, if that’s a bit too Ryan Seacrest for you, just plain peace.
