Horsemanure, my friend. Do you think that in my optimism I am not working to make certain that it is true? The pessimists weaken us from within while we are assaulted from without, and since they are not the enemy, showing that they ARE pessimists will keep the country together.

This must be done gently -- there are mean-spirited folks on both sides, and they do not help.
