What would you whisper as a wish for the dawning year?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 01, 2009:
My whisper'd wish would be to take all of the war-mongering leaders of the world up into space on a big space ship (because unfortunately there are an awful lot of them), hand them all a little box with a large red button attached to a very large onboard bomb, and ask them to either make peace or blow themselves to where-ever - let God and the Devil sort them out from there. Perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to have a pilot - we can auto-pilot ships to Mars, so certainly we could put this thing into some safe distance away from the Earth. My bets are that we'd see fireworks within less time than it would take to get it into orbit, though, unless we withheld the boxes until they were far enough away. On the other hand, maybe if they realized that it was their own butts they would be blowing up, they'd make peace amongst themselves. Naw!!! most of them have been fighting for so long, they've probably forgotten that any such thing as peace could exist.
Do that, and at least we'd be able to start off the year with a little bit of peace. I am so thoroughly disgusted to have to say that I belong to the same human race as those Leaders in Israel and surrounding areas, who on either side of this BIG squabble over a little chunk of almost useless, barren rock (at least from what we are shown on TV, although I'm sure there must be something better as well), continue to kill, maim and torture one another. Same story for Iraq, Iran (eventually) and Afghanistan. They are all so selfish, self-centered and bereft of morality, personally, I really don't like even sharing the air I breathe with them.
Let's be clear here - I'm not taking sides on this issue - I don't think either side in the Israel-Palestine conflageration are "right" for the way they are treating the people who live there, who would like nothing more than to live peacefully, love, be healthy and have some prosperity - just like anyone here in Canada or the USA would want. So it is far beyond my scope of intelligence to even consider how they think that continually hurling bombs and rockets at one another is going to accomplish the wishes of the people for whom they are trying to claim the land.
Here's the thing, though. I also do not see any REAL will on the part of the international community to really push them into a permanent peaceful solution - and by that lack of will, I get a foreboding sense of condonement, for any number of reasons, be it profit of oil wells, or their own flawed religious beliefs that they can bring about some sort of "last days" desperation that would supposedly recall "Jesus" into duty. I think, in a way, that this is part of the reason I just cannot get on the "2012" bandwagon either. I think there are going to be a lot of people who will be very disappointed when December 22, 2012 rolls around. It is, IMHO, as much of a fairy-tale as the expectation that "Jesus" and his angels will suddenly show up and magically everything will be renewed and peace will reign supreme.
The only way we are going to have peace on this planet is to stop fighting with one another over anything. Money, food, fuel, land, good looks - whatever!!! If you refuse to stop fighting, then go find another planet or a space-ship, and go blow yourselves up somewhere else!!! Large companies need to share more of the profits from the work of their workers, WITH those workers, who in turn would then have more to share with those who are barely living. The obscene profits we see year over year at the banks (who are now crying broke?), and the obscene "bonuses" they give the top dogs is immoral!!! As long as there are people starving and without shelter on this planet, it will continue to be immoral!!! So put them on that big space-ship, too, because they're also part of the problem. As for dogs like Madoff - well I hear it's great white shark season in Australia - just dangle him a little bite at a time off a dinghy! That's what he deserves!
(NOTE TO IMMIGRANTS IN CANADA: I really resent that you come over here and bring your wars, via your street protests, to my country. If you want to fight, go back to your own country - I shouldn't have to support keeping you from killing one another on the streets of this country with my taxes. Anyone who protests wars amongst themselves here should be deported, with no leniency, back to their own countries, where they can protest and fight to their hearts' content).
No, I didn't drink last night and I am not hung over or even in much pain (although my index finger is a bit cranky right now), except perhaps in my soul's heart. I am just getting started. I have decided that this year I will no longer be silent in the face of so much blatant torture, of any nature, that the common person is being made to bare. So I am probably going to make a few (more) enemies. Like I said before, in a different post - it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!
