Quite the contrary dear sir. Had you read any of my posts youd realize that im far from what you think I am. I am a loud mouth realist and hence a critic of our people and our ways myself (just ask my Dad he'll tell you how much I annoy him with my rants). But a cynic I am not. There is a difference between the two. From your criticism it seems, at least it seems to me, that you've lost all hope, accepted the fate which right now seems all too certain for our country. And because of that every where you turn you only see negativity all too obvious and a bit too exaggerated. But that can hardly be an end. You take everything a bit too hard. Accepted that its all FUBAR, disappointing and depressing but still we cant just loose it like that, at least not just yet. This country desperately needs people who can see things for what they really are and loosing them to cynicism would be a tragedy on the other end of the spectrum.
