Food For Thought By JUDITH SMOTTS/Lordsburg This is the week of 2019 New Year resolutions. Pick a world crisis, any world crisis; there are so many to choose from. Or perhaps a resolution to improve yourself or improve the world. Maybe just your private well thought out list of “Look Outs.” Look out for Testimonials. Look out for Generalities/Lumped Together. Look out for Bandwagon/Everyone Knows. Look out for only that horrible X minority that does bad things. In my seventh decade I finally realize I can’t save the world. I didn’t write the great novel. I didn’t join the Peace Corp. I didn’t cure the common cold. But maybe I did no harm? I planted many trees. I raised a child. I loved reading and learning in school. I love my country and my Constitution of 1788. I adore the LEGAL NOTICE Bill of Rights added just three years later.
