I wish that 2012 could be the year that every soldier from every country came home for good. (vote and be active in your country's choices)

I wish that 2012 could be the year that every human being on the planet had an equal chance for dignity and self-determination that would bring food and shelter to their families and make the world a better place for all. (participate in http://kiva.org)

I wish that 2012 could be the year when we could give up the notion that we alone are worthy and understand that all deserve a chance, the same chance that we, the privileged, were born with through no inherent qualities of our own doing. (get over yourself, collectively, we've been brainwashed)

I wish that 2012 could be the year that people who have kids would become patient, ardent and inspiring teachers to their own children in the hours they could be spending on that responsibility. This alone would change the quality of life for the entire world. (got kids? Think about the time you spend with them and the effect you need to have on what and who they will become)

I wish that 2012 could be a year where the quality of life of every being on this planet would improve, just a little. (Stop selfishly wasting resources)

You may notice that these were my wishes for 2011. Little has changed, unfortunately.

Randall, Google Plus is waiting for you and here's why:

• Your Tweets that you consider throwaway during chronic insomnia are not disposable at all, but they're recycled a lot. You're a great writer, you know it, we know it. 
• There is no law that says you have to post things longer than 140 characters, but you'll never be stopped by that limit.
• There's no law that says you have to post a photo, but should you care to, you can post one or more
• There's no law that says you must post links, but you can post them and they will usually be  presented in an interesting inline fashion at the bottom of your post.
• Posts on G+ can be edited and deleted forever, should you care to. Same with comments.
• Public posts are indexed in Google's search results. Don't want that? You have full control of it.
• In fact, you can aim your posts at anyone you like, from the full public + future public who sees search results to one person.
• There's plenty of noise on G+, but just like on Twitter, you don't circle (follow) noisy people, you won't see them.
• Yes it takes some work and time to get it working right. Making wine doesn't? Raising kids? The Time Crossword Puzzle? Nothing worth doing does it self.
• Hangouts. I won't get into this here. Just Hangouts.
• Serious discussion? It's up to you, once you've made your environment, you can be serious or just a desperate insomniac at will.

What's in it for you?

Let's face it, of those
