Question o' the Week: What is the best thing that could happen in 2013?

Tom Freeland 19 Republican congressmen get caught in a corruption scandal and are replaced by Democrats in a special election? Yes, I guess you meant "possible" when you said "could," but I can dream.

James Anderson People of all parties, races, creeds, genders, faiths finally realize that hatred is dividing and, yes, destroying, our country. Let's find our commonalities, respect our differences and move the heck on. We're all in this together. End of sermon.

Cristen Hemmins Mississippi legislators would stop telling me what I can do with my body.

Daniel Guaqueta For the world as a whole to realize how badly we affect Mother Nature.

Zach Booth We discover cheap, efficient, non carbon-based energy!

Duane Smith Mayans proved to be a year off?

Dierdre Payne Efforts to legislate charter schools are defeated and the Legislature fully funds MAEP. "Adequate" is an insult, but the lack of full funding has been a greater insult.

Anders Ferrington People quit caring about who someone else loves or where they go or don't go to worship. Diana O'Toole The Farish Street District could finally be a reality!

Tom Head The Chinese Communist Party embraces a radical pro-human rights platform, and the Chinese government becomes a global advocate for same.

James Anderson That the national media will stop coming up with a catchy name for every damn thing that comes along. However, I love it the way NPR tempers that tendency by saying the "so-called" fiscal cliff.

Paul V. Breazeale Meaningful economic growth!

R.L. Nave Mayans realize they forgot to move the decimal point.

Linda Mann Congress would pass sweeping new national policies, in cooperation with other countries, to arrest and reverse the effects of global climate change over time. The future of the planet, threatened species (including Homo Sapiens), and our weather would.

Wanda Clay Garner In response to an article Donna Ladd posted regarding a man who was not convicted of rape due to an archaic law: I think the best thing that could happen in 2013 is for all 50 states and the District of Columbia to spend time eliminating all archaic laws from their books. Not only would this prevent criminals from going free by using these laws, it would also occupy legislators' time and keep them from passing other laws we don't need or want! A two-fer!

Janice Hogan People would become more compassionate, learn to listen to others and work together to make the world a safer place for all.

Robin Webb Gun reform.
