Hope, Despair, Dignity and the Velvet Noose.

I think it was in the "Inconvenient Truth" that Al Gore talked about how many people go from denial to despair so quickly.  Looking at the situation of the world, through many lenses gives a stark view of the future of humanity.  I am not going to paint a rosy picture of this, we have heard the statistics, we have seen the divisiveness among the children we elect to run our government, and the news outlets that hope to profit off of a feeling of us vs them.

And yet I for one feel hopeful in many ways - but I am not going to tell you why.
