A recent column in my local newspaper chided people for "whining". I didn't agree with the author; non-stop whining or kvetching can be tedious but an occasional kvetch is good.
If you keep quiet and stew - nobody will know there's stuff out there that needs fixing.
My 2008 kvetch list starts with hope:
Hope that we all recognize the value of older adults, treasure them and not make snide, supposedly funny, cracks. (Many older adults are the worst perpetrators of stereotyping.) Hope that media remembers there are many more accidents caused by drivers under 50 - yet their age is rarely mentioned in an accident report.
Hope that the level of hypocrisy in government and politics goes way down.
Hope we can get the middlemen out of health care - (like private insurance companies) and recognize that we spend more on health care than other countries and get less for our dollar!
