-- 5 things 2005 taught me --
1. It is wise not to try to predict how I will feel about new things.
2. It is also wise to have plans for how to deal with things if they're not as I like them.
3. How to arrange my life so that I have more time and still have enough money.
4. That fascism sometimes comes carrying a cross and waving a flag.
5. There are more things I want to do than I will ever have the time and energy to do, and that's okay.

4. That fascism sometimes comes carrying a cross and waving a flag.
That's from a quote in 1944 by Vice President Henry Wallace. And it is even more true today.
