Les Traskner, a sociological psychiatrist
from Navel, Georgia, says that people
are not getting any more creative with
the items they want to improve in their
lives, just more creative with ways
to avoid guilt from completely ignoring
these increasingly bizarre resolutions.
“I mean, drinking less takes some
people real effort, and sometimes shows
no positive results.
Learning more about drug policy might
be a lofty goal, but it's easy to do
nothing at all to learn about drug policy,
make up a bunch of phony statistics,
and act like you know what you're talking
about. There is no risk in that resolution”.
Randy Reddy, a self-styled “Life-Achievement
Facilitator” from Happy Beach,
Florida, has a different opinion. He
thinks that these new kinds of resolutions
are a sign of hope for the future. “These
are creative, dynamic people who really
feel that they can be Renaissance men
and women, with many interests and a
broad field of accomplishments”,
He said enthusiastically, “I applaud
these bold, visionary Americans”.
John Roaker, a contractor from Wayland,
Texas has a more down-to-Earth view.
“These guys are full of shit.
If you think your life can be fixed
by changing one thing once a year, you're
way more screwed up than you think.
Grow up and make changes in your life
when you need to or kill yourself and
save some resources for the rest of
us. Sweet Jesus”
A follow-up poll will be conducted with
the same subjects in February to see
how they fared in keeping these new
and unusual resolutions.
