Reply #28: Sometimes being an optimist is not in our best interest.

[Gregorian]

Certainly not when we see the bus driver careening off the side of the road.

A lot of people are paying attention to the lies. A lot of people are still focused on their hatred for Clinton, although history will be the judge of that.

Right now we are in the dark, feeling our way around a maze. One built by republicans. We've been purposefully confused, in order to fulfill their agenda. I know a lot of people would disagree with that. But it's hard to be optimistic when it's dark, and we're lost. But the room is lighting up again.

I think in big terms. And most of my posts go unnoticed, or dismissed as shallow. I'm not full of facts. But time bears me out. I see the posts that get noticed. And some reflect ideas I had long ago. We ARE falling apart. But it's not politics that is going to be our undoing. Even when we get past Bush, there are things that eclipse his evil doings. Although what he has done could have been avoided. And the things that are to come, could be alleviated. But as we go forward, unbridled and ungoverned by common sense, we climb a higher mountain in which to fall from. The time for optimism is when no one is starving, and there are no wars.

Being a pessimist is healthy. Being an optimist is easy. But being real is what gets the job done.
