Eat better and work out, sure. But we all need to work on the following.<\/big><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Honk way, way less.<\/p>\n

2.<\/b> Cut back on middle finger usage while driving. <\/p>\n

3.<\/b> Resist the urge to tell someone to \u201cyenfokho\u201d just because you disagree with their political views.<\/p>\n

4.<\/b> Acknowledge the very real problems of racism and sexism in our country, and work on ending them instead of getting defensive. <\/p>\n

5.<\/b> Don\u2019t litter. Even your little bizer seeds belong in the trash.<\/p>\n

6.<\/b> Enjoy public spaces. Horsh Beirut, public parks, and public beaches are a good start.<\/p>\n

7.<\/b> Fight people who are trying to privatize public spaces. <\/p>\n

8.<\/b> Take the time to appreciate all the beautiful architecture around us, because you never know when those historic buildings might get torn down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

9.<\/b> Fight the people trying to tear down historic buildings. <\/p>\n

10.<\/b> Less animal cruelty, less child abuse, less domestic abuse, and less illiteracy.<\/p>\n

11.<\/b> More education, more funding for scientific and medical programs, more prosperity, and more love.<\/p>\n

12.<\/b> Get serious about road safety, with no exceptions.<\/p>\n

13.<\/b> Don\u2019t double park, and definitely don\u2019t triple park.<\/p>\n

14.<\/b> But most<\/i> definitely don\u2019t leave your car in the middle of the road with flashers on while you run in to a store. <\/p>\n

15.<\/b> When the time comes, let\u2019s all VOTE instead of just updating our Facebook statuses.<\/p>\n

16.<\/b> Downgrade our weddings\u2026come on, guys.<\/p>\n

17.<\/b> Carpool every once in a while, it won\u2019t kill us.<\/p>\n

18.<\/b> Try not to elect idiots. <\/p>\n

19.<\/b> Keep it together. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
