It's time to be optimistic.

Optimism is good for sanity and I try to trick myself into not being pessimistic at least but I honestly feel that's like burying the head in the sand. Those problems are still there aside from the ozone holes which have been fixed. In addition there are even more serious problems on the horizon. Having a kid makes me vacillate between optimism (for the sake of a sane family life) and horror our kids future.
