I think this is a eally good question from Jason over at his Harsh Reality blog. I think its a good one for posting this time of year. People tend to think more about how they would like things to be and how to make it so around New Years Day. I posted my answer in the comments on his blog. If you’re really interested, you can go there and read it. 😉
Lots of other people made some very good comments too. 🙂
