If you could create your own National Holiday, what would it be and when? 
Submitted by John M.

I would create a day where we would lament the countless, needless deaths of domesticated animals. This is clearly a problem that WE, as humans, have created, and need to do something about. It would also be a time to reflect on the enormous contributions that animals in general, have made to the betterment of mankind since the beginning of recorded history. Their hard work, loyalty and dedication should be honored.

I would use the time leading up to this "holiday" to educate and inform young people about the important role of animals (horses, dogs, camels, to name but a few) in modern society....and how they have faithfully and tirelessly served us over the years. (police canines, search and rescue, guide dogs, farming, transportation, companions for the elderly, etc...)

As Mahatma Gandhi once said....

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated"

What won't you miss about 2007?

Hmmm...the first post in my Vox Blog.....What WON"T I miss about 2007?

I won't miss the drama and the constant crisis and the back-and-forth, behind the back bullshit that ended the year with some of my friends. I can certainly do without that.

I won't miss the ridiculous rent on my last apartment. Too much $$$ for too little space. In retrospect, what a waste of money. Money that could have been put to better use!

I won't miss moving in the dead of Winter....again.

I won't miss what amounted to a year that started full of promise but ended on a pretty shitty note.

I won't miss my terrible mood swings and bouts with depression.

I won't miss a lot of the people who claim to be friends but their actions demonstrate otherwise.
