Wondering about life, death, and decapitation is my New Year's Resolution

MY NEW year’s resolution is to worry more about the affordability of Botox and devote more time to thinking about my cellulite, writes Suzanne Harrington
Wondering about life, death, and decapitation is my New Year's Resolution

No, not really. Just kidding. It’s to wonder more. And not just at sunsets and dolphins, but at the real mysteries of the universe. Like, I wonder why those heavily armed maniacs in Oregon are being called ‘militants’ and ‘patriots’, while heavily armed maniacs elsewhere are called ‘terrorists’. I wonder if they were black or Arab, would they all be dead by now? What if these gun-waving white adults were 12- year-old black kids with toy guns?

It’s only a few days into 2016 and already there is so much to wonder at. Like, by January 5 there had already been 141 American citizens shot dead by other American citizens, on the day Channel Four interviewed a chap from an outfit called Armed American Radio.
