My hopes for '07

For the world:
I wish that folks would stop killing each other because they're from the wrong tribe or because they don't worship the right God or because they aren't living the right way.

For the US:
I hope we start focusing on things that really matter to people, that can change the lives of people here and elsewhere in the world. Flag burning and whether the ten commandments belong in a courthouse is not what I want my representatives or Supreme Court to be focusing on. I want fewer starving children in our cities, better educated kids, better health care and a focus on the environment.

For my friends:
I hope they have unimaginable joy in '07.

For me:
I hope that '07 is a year of me focusing on getting healthier and taking better care of myself.

What are you hoping for in '07?
