(4,533 posts)Childhood deaths have fallen spectacularly. Fewer die from violent deaths. Every day the world as a whole greatly improves. I know thats not reported but there are actually many reasons to be hopeful. Small pox gone, polio gone, AIDS drugs thanks heavily to Clinton Foundation now affordable throughout Africa. President Obamas recently said this is the greatest time ever to be born. It seems hard to believe but if you look at the facts he is probably right. And the future will continue to have amazing improvement. Search Kurzweil predictions cebit. He talks for about 30 minutes before questions. He has been making unbelievable, optimistic predictions for 30 years. 86% accuracy. And he foresees fantastic improvements. People watch bad news, not good news. So we see biased stories. And here we have creepy Republicans but they too will pass. Young voters are with us big time and soon, 10 years maybe less, they will be a tidal washing these creepy Republicans away.
I too figure my years are getting short, But I am serene in my knowledge happy days will finally come to our heirs. They need a break and I think they will get it.
