Woody Guthrie's New Year's Resolutions For 1942

Iconic American folksinger/songwriter Woody Guthrie had ambitious and noble New Year's resolutions for the year 1942.  Boing Boing recently posted the list, and it seemed a timely item to repost.  They are all good, but I think I like 18, 19 and 20 best:  Stay glad, keep hoping maching running, and dream good.
