How timely, as 2013 arrives, is the information reported by Newsweek Monday that in comparison with all other countries, "name a risky behavior, the United States is, if not No. 1, then usually [is] in the top two." Examples of risky behavior cited are overeating, drinking to excess, having more auto accidents and shooting themselves and others.

Perhaps "triggered" by beginning a new year, awareness yet again of the destructiveness of much of our own voluntary behavior, will lead to resolve to take action personally and as a nation. What better time to initiate individual and collective change?
