In the next term, I hope that President Obama takes a page from President Roosevelt

6. We must keep that hope.

I just saw rainy's post about hope for the human race.

rainy says some of what many are feeling.

"I'm finding all the killers, gun maniacs, hate mongers, climate deniers, banksters, corporatists, factory farming, amazon forest destroying, animal killing, raping, abusing etc., etc., etc. in the world so overwhelming that as much as I try I can't see a way to fix it and it makes me so sad and left with feelings of despair for my fellow humans."

But we need to look at the other side. The better side. Look at what we have done good in the past and know we can and will do it again. Many are looking at their children and wondering thing just like you are/have. Just keep looking at the future with hope and let us all work to make it like we want it for them.
