Jan.2

 New Year’s Eve is over.

Singing, dancing, partying, spectacular fireworks, many exchanges of wishes for a great New Year.

January 1 is over.
Recovering, assessing, friends and family, quiet time

January 2 is time to ask.
How many evil-doers will still be evil doers?
How many jackasses will still be jackasses?
How many decent people will be frustrated with the world around them?
How many lovers will discover that love is too hard?
How many problems won’t even get a feeble attempt at a solution?
How much richer will the rich get?
How much hunger will be tolerated?
How much closer to our own destruction will we get?
