And wouldn't we be better off if every New Year's, we thought about the things we did right and we resolved to keep doing them, no matter how wacky they were.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each year one vicious habit discarded, in time might make the worst of us good.
And there was a movement afoot to take another year off, and if we had been able to do that, and rethink everything, I think when we came back it would have been very different.
Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
I think life changes every year. This is just a little more comfortable.
I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year.
Year by year we are learning that in this restless, strenuous American life of ours vacations are essential.
But we did the best we could and in the end some of us had to get day jobs and start fresh.
I've been a politician long enough to know that every year will find us living in a situation that one couldn't have imagined a year previously. Sometimes it's better than we imagined, sometimes it's not as good.
Each year is a new year.
And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.
