New Year's Resolutions for 2012

Peter Flom

I will spend less time attacking my fellow liberals and more time attacking the real enemy: Republicans

I will continue to have hopes and dreams, because if you don't have dreams, you have nightmares.

I will work to get Democrats (including Obama) elected.

I will continue to support my favorite charities.

I will give my children hugs (even if they think they don't want them)

I will try to live by my favorite saying of all time:

Most people worry about their own bellies and other people's souls when we all should worry about our own souls and other people's bellies
which is from Rabbi Israel Salanter

I will also try to live by this quote:

If I am not for myself, who is for me?
If I am for myself alone, what am I?
If not now, when?

Which is from Hillel

I will try not to get too mad at myself when I fail.

    Indeed, a good list. :)

    Love that Hillel quote.

    Good list, but I would love to see a third political party. I think it could make our government more responsive if legislators were forced to compromise to achieve their goals. We especially need to get people in Congress willing to work for their salary and NOT for big business.
