A Different Kind of Year End List

I thought I would do something dramatic this new year and refrain from posting any so-called best of the year lists. Of course, these lists include movies, books, albums, plays, bands, songs, year’s sexiest (male or female), BBQ smokers (electric or otherwise), Scotch Whiskies, consumer electronics, cars, or mid-sized SUVs.
 
You’re welcome.
 
Likewise, I will not bore you with many stories of my showbusiness past, present, or future. Instead, I will offer a few words, a type of list I admit, regarding the brink on which we as a civilization find ourselves precariously perched upon. 
 
(Warning: Spoilers)
 
The Colorado Wildfire proved once again that the world’s climate is changing rapidly and that it may indeed be too late to reverse it.
 
One year ago, a violent group of domestic terrorists invaded the US Capital building with threats of murdering the Vice President and threatening violence upon the Speaker of the House.
 
Science is being ignored in favor of a belief in lizard democrats that feed on the blood of newborn babies.
 
Roe v Wade
 
Half of the country believe that the last election was illegitimate.
 
Under the new concealed carry laws being passed, more and more innocent people are killed by gun violence.
 
We are rapidly recruiting and deploying a paramilitary police force.
​
Unfortunately, this list goes on and on and on and on. I guess the question any rational thinking American is forced to ask themselves at the beginning of this new year is what the hell are we as a people going to do about it?
 
Oh yeah, and Happy New Year.
