I have always assumed the worst outcome in any situation just so I don't get let down. I don't know how we (yes we) pull out of this nose dive. I haven't lost all hope. I still see youths acting like youths and that in itself is reassuring, that ALL WE NEED TO DO IS: tell our next generations the truth even if it makes someone or something seem less than. These kids still have that spark and I would at this moment in time trust their judgement over any older person and definitely more than any current politicians.
