Worldly Wishes My wishes for the new millennium. Tom Lawson

Not long from now the year 2000 will be rolling around. This wonderfully round date might bring many changes or the world or it might stay exactly the same. There are a few wishes that I have for the new millennium. Most of these wishes are sappy; things like world peace and no more illness, but they're what I want. Maybe I really care...maybe I am just trying to sound nice. I can't decide, why don't you?

My first wish for the new day, month, year, decade and millennium of January 1, '00 is for the computers not to crash including no power outages. You may be asking, "Why would he want this more that a cure for illnesses?" Well, I'll tell you why. The entire medical industry is based on automated machines. With out this equipment there won't even be cough syrups. No more Nyquil, Sudephed or Aspirin. Try living in a world like this for one week and people will be whining and crying for aspirin, the last being stolen from pitch black drug stores and hoarded away in peoples' homes. Some would be sold for prices as high as if it were gold. Gold that can cure pains. We take our medications for granted and we need power to make it. In short, we need power to live.

My second wish for the year 2000 is for all hatred to fade away like so much water on the sun. There would be no more prejudice. People like Saddam would wither away for they are more hate than flesh. There world be no more wars, and no more murders. There would not even be a need for weapons. With With no hate, there would be no crime. The police would be reduced to glorified meter maids, giving out tickets for parking violations. I doubt a world like this will ever come on Earth, but we can hope.

My final wish for the new year is for there to be no more sickness of any kind in this world. I wish for a cure for cancer, AIDS, and the common cold. There should be no more flu, Asthma or Whooping Cough. Allergies should no longer exist. These wishes combine to form what, in my opinion, everyone in the world ultimately wish for and will only find in Heaven.
