Ship on the Sea: There are rips in my sails, my hull is worn, and I'm being tossed around like a toy on the waves. But... My compass is true, I can see land, I've yet to take on water, and I know the storm is breaking up. –danaofthebells
It's actually a poll. If we had all 20 or so subjects, we'd be forever thinning them all out. Maybe we could have a competition this year, and let each person pick their own theme, but declare it first, and see how we all stick to each of our themes!

Here's where I'll keep the vote tallies - I thought of making it a "Vote Thread", but I think there's a limit to the number of votes the data base will accept.
Fear (2)
Waiting (1)
Greed (1)
Champion (1)
War (1)
Pharmaceuticals (2)
Energy
