Birthday Dreams

Today is my birthday and I did not get what I wanted. It's still early in the day, but I'm pretty sure I won't. Here's what's on my list:

World peace
No weapons exist anywhere
Everybody's happy
Politicians have scruples
Veal is outlawed
Kent State never happened
All babies are born healthy
Pets never die (until we do)
No more laugh tracks on TV
Mitt Romney won

Martin Luther King wasn't the only one with a dream.
