- I want the birds to live. I love birds.
- I want this climate change to stop. Our weather in Maine is weird and getting weirder by the day. I've noticed neighbors planting banana trees and pineapple.
- I want the public to turn off their TV's and hit the streets. Imagine how fun that would be.
- I want the wars to stop - all of them.
- I want to have a rail system that could take me anywhere I wanted to go. Each rail car with Wifi connection.
- I want my local newspaper to be a newspaper again.....and print my latest Letter to Editor.
- I want our Teabag governor in Maine to move to Jamaica.
- I want there to be free health, dental, and mental health care for everyone. Pay for it with cuts in Pentagon spending.
- I want Bath Iron Works to build rail cars and wind turbines which would mean they would have to hire more people.
- I want the politicians to stop viewing their job as a career. Get elected, be real, and be done after one term. It's called citizen representative.
- I want the children of the world to have a future.
- I want to be able to watch baseball, basketball, and news channels on TV without having to pay $75 a month. I refuse to pay it.
- I want the U.S. to close all our bases overseas. I want to Bring Our War $$ Home.
- I want The Kinks to get back together - at least for one album. I would like for them to invite me to watch them make the record. Maybe let me sing backup and shake a tambourine too.
- I want my son to not have to work so hard.
- I want everyone to be happy. Can't we all just get along?
- I want cars/trucks to vanish from the face of the Earth. I could live with motor scooters.
- I want my feet to stop hurting after I walk a long distance. I love to walk.
- I want the militarization of space to stop.
- I want the aliens to come and tell us the whole story - who God is, how it all started, what happens when you die, and is it true that only the rich go to hell.
- I want a new dog, preferably a Beagle, but for free and already house trained.
- I want someone to come and take the things away from our house that collect dust. I am tired of stuff.
- That should do it.....I don't want to be greedy.

WHAT I WANT FOR XMAS
Here is my Christmas wish list......
Fantastic. This does it for me too. In all things, peace. The end of all wars and a time-out for long contemplative thinking about what truly is necessary to maintain a quality of life, what truly is an important list as a 'to do' list for humans to maintain planet earth, and except for necessary conversations and safety, to put down the tech tools and actively talk with each other. Thanks Bruce.
ReplyDeleteI love you and your non-greedy ideas Brucey-Bruce! Merry Christmas to you and my Addams-Melman family. There is peace on earth and it begins with us. PS: I will try to take care of a couple of things on your wish list. Thank you for sharing!!
