    Question Are you optimistic about the future?

    (I'm in a weird mood.)
    One of the interesting things about SRP is that there are people here from every political persuasion, every age group, many occupations, many nationalities and every educational background, so the scientist in me makes me think this is a good place to ask the question. So:

    Are you optimistic about the future? Your future, your family's future, your country's future?

    we all will survive no matter what happens politically. the question is what kind of country we will have in the end. i am still optimistic that the better part of mankind will win out and things will get better and we can still have a great future for ourselves, our children, our grand and great grandchildren

    I have a house I may lose, a daughter that will never be comfortable in a bathing suit when she hits the age that she might want to show off her legs.I am in debt up to my eyeballs trying to hold on to the house and feed my family and keep my business moving plus medical bills out the wazoo.
    We have a President whom I do not trust and I believe his actions may put us into debt so deep that my grand childrens grand children will still be paying it off And yet somehow I am still optimistic about the future.

    The future? The future is an unwritten book. So sure I am optimistic about the future!

    Well ...... I'm going to die someday so ....... I dunno ..... other than that yeah, reasonably optimistic.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I try and live by - "hope for the best, prepare for the worst."

    I'd like to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel...and it's NOT a train.

    I am optimistic. A year ago, the credit markets almost completely seized up. For a good 5-6 months, we we were falling at a rate comparable to the Great Depression. The panic is over, and now the hard slog is underway. The important part is that the panic is over.
