I say Grace. Really.
It never ceases to amaze me that I can walk into a building--one of many in my town--full of fresh produce, milk, cheese and foods from all around the world that wouldn't have been available at any price to anyone not so many years ago. Further, with a bit of coupon-clipping and smart shopping, I can buy enough groceries to fill the back seat of Mrs. Wraith's Rogue for less than a day's pay.
So, when we leave the store, we always pause a moment to give thanks to the Lord our God, for the blessings He has bestowed upon us. We live in the greatest country on Earth, with a standard of living never before enjoyed by anyone, at any time in all of human history. And too many people don't even know it.
Just a little perspective. Happy New Year, everyone.
Best read all day. Although I do object to the "nonpolitical" label. The prosperous conditions you describe are sustained by one of the two competing political philosophies on the field in 2012.

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
Thanks, bro. And you're correct about Conservatism sustaining the wonders of America, but I reserve the "Political" label for things like my more-specific rants regarding the Oppressives. And the horse they rode in on. And its mother. ;)
