  4. Okay, here’s my list:

    <

    p>(1)   A Democratic President that will fix what’s ailing the Bay State and the United States at large.

    <

    p>(2)   An end to our illegal, messy, stupid, immoral, unnecessary and wrongheaded war on and occupation of Iraq.  let the Iraqis deal with their own affairs.

    <

    p>(3)   Here’s  hoping that the necessary 2-state solution, which is the only safe, sane and sensible solution to the decades-old, festering Israeli/Palestinian conflict emerges and comes into fruition

    <

    p>(4)   Here’s hoping our presently-tanking economy gets back on track.

    <

    p>(5)   Here’s hoping that we get better weather soon, and that spring comes early

    <

    p>(6)   Here’s hoping that some of the golden-oldie-but-goody  movie classics get back to some revival theatres.  I begrudge sitting home and watching movies on TV, except for occasionally, which is why I don’t own a DVD player, let alone one of those ultra-fancy home-theatre systems.

    <

    p>(7)  That more screenings of my alltime favorite film, West Side Story
    come to my general area, and even to neighborning states.  God, I love that film.  I recently saw the movie Romance and Cigarettes, which I enjoyed.  While it’s certainly not West Side Story,  it’s definitely worth seeing, imo.  Same can be said, imo, for Gone Baby Gone and No Country for Old Men  Next on my seeing list is Atonement.  

    • reasonable national health insurance

      <

      p>justice for the evil doers of the Bush admin

      <

      p>Rescreening of “Harvey”

      <

      p>

      • Thanks for reminding me, cadmium.

        <

        p>Healthcare is needed for all!!  The number of people in this country and in the Bay State who’re either without health insurance altogether, or are inadequately covered, this is a necessity.  The fact that the USA is the only developed, industrialized Western country without a comprehensive universal healthcare plan is a complete and total disgrace!  Here’s hoping better health insurance for people who really need it comes about for 2008.

  5. -A Superbowl would be nice!
    -Winning back the White House
    -Getting out of Iraq
    -A national leader who will combat global climate change
    -Finally capturing Osama
    -Another World Series

    • I’d love a BMG gathering I can actually attend – I keep on missing them whenever they happen for some reason.

  6. the risk of spontaneous human combustion that is imminent on the diary known as Rules of the Road Revisited, it is my fervent wish that all parties concerned–who, I might add, have carried the load bravely–yield to the accumulated weight of all that is decent and let the whole thing, well, expire.  

    <

    p>And the years is only 15 hours and 5 min. old.  I’m sure there will be more wishes concerning people who reject my reality in order to substitute their own, but, heh, that’s all I got right now.  

  7. As for the rest, besides the continuing and/or improving health of my kith and kin…well…Daivd, you know what I wnat – but I’m not going to spoil your day off!  :~)

    • Going back to 200 pounds and maybe hitting 190 or 180, getting a girlfriend… oh you meant about the country and the world well peace and stability in Darfur, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Kenya, and other troubled spots im forgetting. More democracy and true freedom to people, more globalization and interconnectedness, etc.

      <

      p>Realistically to paraphrase WC Fields Id like to see an Obama presidency, but any Dem would do.

      <

      p>And lastly the triple crown for Boston sports. Pats and Celts along with this past years Sox!

  9. Despite some differences that I’ve had with afew posters, I’m somewhat curious to meet some BMG posters.  How do the gatherings get advertised?  I’m new here, so I don’t know.

    <

    p>Happy New Year again!!

    <

    p>While I’m blogging on this bitterly cold winter night, I’m presently listening to the CD soundtrack of my alltime favorite movie, West Side Story.
