"Happy New Year."
For most of us this greeting is stated perfunctorily,
merely as a thing to say at this time of the year. It seems
to us the matter should be given more thought, and the
statement should be made with all the enthusiasm in
our hearts^
It happens that we live in one of the comparatively
few countries in the world where people can really
expect to be happy. All of us have our individual
worries, of course, but think of these things.
As a people, we are not hungry.
Our government is not oppressive.
We can go to sleep at night with confidence that
we'll wake up snug and safe in the same bed next morn-
ing. No KGB or Gestapo exists here to drag us to prison
in the middle of the night.
If we want to travel, across town or across the
world, nobody stands in our way.
We are free people in a free nation.
Compare that with much of the rest of the world,
where in many nations millions live in daily fear of their
own governments and many are in peril from outside
attackers as well. Hunger is a daily companion of
millions also, not only in backward nations but also for
the politically dispossessed in some of the world powers.
Imprisoned thousands, held for the crime of opposing
their national regimes, are reduced to the status of
animals.
Russia as a whole is a vast prison for its people.
Russian sports contenders travel to other nations under
constant guard. If a Russian woman marries a man from
a capitalist nation there's almost no chance that she will
be permitted to emigrate to his country, or that he will
be admitted back into Russia even for a short visit.
Heartbreak, suffering, cruelty and deprivation are
the way of life for the majority of the people of the
world.
By comparison, our country's freedom, even more
than our standard of living, is the envy of the world.
So, as we enter this 200th birthday of the United
States of America, let all of us who live here in
Aspermont be thankful for our town, our progressive
state and our material blessings. But most of all let us
be thankful for, and dedicated to, the great freedom
we have to be really free—a rather unique privilege in
a troubled world.
We believe in this country ind it* people Like (he
writers of our Constitution, we believis that the strength ami
the real intelligence of government originates with the people.
So we urge ail our citizens, here and elsewhere, to do our
part-keep up with public issues and send our opinions about
them to our elected representatives
