14. Hold on to those positive thoughts as long as you can. |

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!

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.

26. Pessimistic? Used to be. I got pessimistic over being pessimistic, so now I'm an optimist. |

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.
