Dear Santa,

It's me, Tink, been awhile since I've written you, possibly last Christmas, I can't remember.

Somebody tried to tell me you weren't real, like God and David Hasselhoff but I know they're real too, cause well, just got to believe.

This year, I don't really want anything for myself, as well, I ain't been nothing but bad this year, but I do want something for the world.

I want random acts of violence such as school shootings, etc. just to stop.  

I never understood what would drive someone to just go out and open fire in a public place such as a school, mall, movie theater, whatever.  

I would think firing up a video game and open fire on some computer generated villains would be more fun as you could hit restart game and bam, you could start over, especially if you got killed.

Real life does not have a restart game button.

Sometimes, I wish it did, be nice to start over in life, changes some things, and if they didn't work out that well, RESTART GAME could always be an option.

There also seems to be a lot of wars and war-like things going on, again, why can't these politicians, rulers, etc. just fire up their game station and play War 3K or something?

If they lose, then, well, RESTART GAME, and all their people they lost to the Ultra 10,000 megaton Bomb of Death would be restarted and whoosh, could do it all over again!

Again, too bad life wasn't that way!

Be a lot easier!

Anyways, that's about all I want for Christmas, basically, the same thing I wanted since I was a wee lad and you were nailing my mom.

I'm still waiting for that pony I asked for back in 1978.

Your friend for life,

Tink
