Happy New year 2010

I wish that I can wish everyone a Happy New Year. Life is not that simple. Lots of people will be unhappy if everyone else is happy.

There are approximately 7 billion members of human specie and I have about 3 billion good wishes in my stock. This means that I have to be selective in bestowing my wishes. Beside this, good for human being could mean bad for many other species but I will leave that dialogue for another day. Influenced by my ancient culture, I am biased towards the underdogs.

First on my list is Farmers of the world. Their land is shrinking, their water is drying, soil is eroding at such a rate that without my good wishes, they have no chance to have a good harvest for long. Coming from a farming family I know that we folks are very hard working but dumb(er) sub-specie of humans unlike our close relatives who choose a different path some 200 years ago to work for Federal/ Commonwealth governments or banks etc.

Second on my list are factory workers, especially of the US and Europe. Their standard of living is dropping faster than property prices in Detroit. But hang on; I have used all my 3 billion stock on the first item on the list so they have to wait till 2011.

List to be continued…
