What are you most thankful for in the past year?

“The bike lanes on Spruce and Pine streets. I feel much safer biking in the city. In fact, I’m dreaming of the day when an entire street will be set aside for bikers. Cycling is wonderful and should be fully encouraged.”

“I’m glad that universal healthcare is becoming a possibility. At last, it appears to be within reach. But the Stupak Amendment must be prevented. It’s totally unacceptable. There must be nothing in the law that impedes a woman’s right to choose.”

“Miracle on the Hudson. I love a good story with a happy ending. I was very relieved that nobody died in the [plane] crash. I’m also thankful the economy is improving. I don’t feel on the edge of disaster like I did last year.”

“The departure of George W. Bush from the White House. He’s a warmonger that never should have stepped foot in the White House. A lot of people died senselessly because of him.”
