6. My words can only carry so much weight...

... and in the end they would clarify nothing. So I think I can best sum it up in a song...

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.


I hope that helps.

5. Depends on who wins the next election.

7. Cynics have the correct view

A cynic's collective life of bad experiences give the correct world view over common people like us.

8. I'm a pessimist from now on

:hi: and I'm certain that things are even worse than I think they are.

9. An optimist may have a better outlook on life

but a pessimist collects on more bets.
