I resolve not to compute the alpha average I plus 3 plus 8 equals 12. divided by 3 equals an average of 4 Bui a new baby, a fat man. an old woman and a high school football player do not add up to an "average" person Dont' let me generalize ahout an "average" thai simply cannot he calculated I resolve not to assume positional metamorphosis I have been guilty of saying "he was a pretty decent guy until they made him hovs " More often I've said, "you can take a perfectly reasonable, sensible fellow and put him in political office and he turns to s— ." W’c all know that just isn't true When others make decisions that wc disagree with, we too often ascribe the fact to a character defect in the other person My resolve is to he more tolerant of those who hold positions that require dec isions, to more carefully examine the decision rather than call the decision maker a had guy Finally . 1 resolve to hit the nail on the head I've been guilty of being mealy mouthed, under handed and have side stepped the issue You may «ill wonder, from time to time, just what is the point, but only when that is the point When the point is something else. I'll try to make it straighi out and not heat around the hush Clip this list and tape it up somewhere that you can easily measure this column in the year to come Let my Editor know when I fail to live up to these New Year’s Resolutions Thanks Z/i as i SEE IT HAPPY NEW YEAR From PLOYHAR INSURANCE 127 N.
