Today is Christmas Eve. I thought it would be a good time to reflect on the past year, and make my plans for 2009. I know, I am supposed to do this on New Years Eve, but I have some time on my hands and thought I would take care of it now.
The past year we have seen a Presidential Election that made history. It made history because....well, actually I am not sure why. Obama is not the youngest to become president. In fact Bill Clinton was younger when he took office. It's not that he is from Illinois. I recall another president that came from there. You remember him, the father of big government. Honest Abe Lincoln. If everyone is talking about the color of his skin, well that is just a plain silly reason to claim as a first. If we are a nation that elects people based on skin color, hair color, height, weight or any other physical attributes, then we are seriously on the wrong track. I believe that we should elect a president based on experience, character and how well they look behind the podium.
Enough about the election. My main concern is the environment. The global warming really has me scared. In fact, just yesterday as I was shoveling out the driveway after another 4 inches of snow, I decided what my course of action would be for the next year to help out. I will help the "Go Green" movement. What is the best way to do that? Well, the "green" in the environment is the plants. Trees, bushes, grass.... What do all these green plants need to survive? Carbon Dioxide. That's right. Green plants need carbon dioxide to survive, much in the same way that we need oxygen. So, my New Years Resolution will be to do everything I can to increase carbon dioxide emissions. I figure it's the least I can do to help out.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
