The year that was.  Lots of people were born, lots of people died.  Lots of people did some really smart things, lots of people did some really stupid things. Somewhere there was too much rain, somewhere there was drought.  Some world leaders acted like assholes, and others acted even assholier. Some people complained about the weather, and others just complained. Some people starved, others were gluttonous. Some people fought, others loved each other and most did both. The earth orbited the sun once, the sun didn’t notice and now we start over.
