The new year is a rather common celebration, be it through a
ball dropping in some lit up square, fireworks, or any numerous other
traditions. One of these traditions that's commonly practiced and has become a
part of popular culture is the creation of resolutions. Now, while personal
resolutions are grand and all, I think that the US needs to make some
resolutions on a whole:
1. Be more environmentally conscious. As I've voiced in
prior blog-posts, the environment is pretty damned important. Not only does it
have intrinsic value on its own, but it also is key to the survival of a
creature called "the human". The US has had no shortage of
environmental issues for it to tackle.
2. Be wary of becoming a police state. The tragedies that
struck the US in the latter half of 2014 weren't unique, that's to be certain.
Many others have died at the hands of the police, both unjustly and in
split-second bad decisions. However, these recent events are just what lit the
powderkeg. Discontentment with this state of cops being essentially allowed to
murder as they choose without punishment has drawn attention to the issue of
increasing police power. Lets just try to kill less of our own civilians this
year.
3. Balance the budget. Nah, I'm just kidding. After all,
these are resolutions I hold somewhat realistic hopes that the US government
can actualize.
