How about a revolutionary resolution?

The Dallas Morning News proudly posted their new year's resolutions in the newspaper. They said they would be pushing this year

1. to create an economic develop corporation to guide redevelopment efforts in southern Dallas and to increase parental involvement in the lives of southern Dallas children.
2. to identify funding for the state's 50-year water strategy.
3. to reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions with an eye toward losing the title of carbon dioxide king.
4. to expand the region's rail transit network to ease congestion and provide options for commuters and to identify significant sources of new money to fund needed highway projects.

Gee, I'd rather see them pushing a return to some standards of decency and the election to public office of some people with integrity, courage, and fortitude. If we do that, then all that other stuff will fall into place. If we don't do that, then even if they accomplish their goals, it will be for naught.
