I wish I could join you but I have seen too much, too old and too realistic. BOHICA "bend over here it comes again".

28 years of corporate rule isnt going away any time soon.

And thats all the positive I can conger up today!

20. This is some kind of trap, isn't it?

21. I am a cynical optimist

I think that shitty things will happen, and sometimes at the worst possible time, but that we'll learn from it and move on.

In short: the glass is neither half empty or half full. Just get up and fill the damn thing.

27. Optimist here. Present!!

28. I am optimistic

The recent election was an utter rejection by the people of Reagonomics. That is being denied and obstructed by the domineering conservative faction within the Democratic party.

I am optimistic that the people will eventually prevail over those within the party promoting centrism and compromise with the right wing, economic conservatism, and pro-corporate compromising and rolling over.
