New Year

As we celebrate slamming the door on 2015 with vast quantities of alcohol, great hopes and abortive new year's resolutions one can reflect that it's been 16 years since the Y2K bug didn't destroy the IT world, 30 or 40 years since overpopulation didn't cause mass starvation and about 45 since the next ice age didn't begin and contemplate what wonderful new panics can be manufactured over the next year to scare us into acquiescing to bad ideas for battling chimera that waste money and reduce freedom. Among other things we've declared war on poverty, drugs, terror and, wasteful government spending with predictable results. Here's an idea, let's declare a war on declaring war on anything that doesn't involve actual war.
Notwithstanding that little polemic which, let's be completely honest, was pointless, but made me feel all warm and fuzzy, Jan & I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. May all your dreams come true (except those naughty ones Cal) and may you find happiness and motivation in everything you do.
Peace brothers and sisters.
Jack
