   I resolve to eat Indian food no less than once per month, and to keep my pantry fully supplied with Diet Pepsi.

   p>I figure that until I have civil equality, I’m forced to give up so much already that I don’t have to flagellate myself with the “thou shalt not” sort of new years resolutions.  Oh yes, and on that note, I also resolve to never shut up about the failure of America and its government to live up to the standards of the Constitution and its popular mythology of “freedom and justice for all”.

     Indian food is wonderful.  Once a month, however, isn’t sufficient.

   So you believe in you
   Help me sing it, ma ma se,
   Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
   Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
   Ma ma coo sa
