  January 1st, 2010:
   … The full moon beckons the end of a terrible decade in our nations history,
  but are we free from the terrible curse of the 2000′s?

  Quite certainly, the turbulent end to a decade from Hell!
  … As for the upcoming decade, ‘the Teens‘, … keep your fingers crossed, because while things won’t certainly be the same as the last ten years, we still have enough spillover to deal with yet! … Just keep positive.
