We seem to have a crowd of nay-sayers today! Gary T and Gram have apparently missed Jeff’s optimism, one of the main reasons all of us are here! Sure, there’s plenty of bad news out there, but Jeff consistently points out reasons to be hopeful. And he reminds us that the process is drip, drip, drip, slow but sure.

I’d be happy for them to take their negativity elsewhere.

I don’t necessarily mind a counter perspective. I just think that it’s not helpful to talk about US being overly optimistic without any suggestions on what to do differently or in addition. Just complaining about how we’re not “realistic” without offering any alternative is adding nothing. 100% of the people who won’t take a shot will not succeed but there is always a chance if we actually are willing to make the effort and not give up. You can’t win if you don’t try and just make excuses.
