"There has never been anything false about hope"

You betcha! I'd be dead without it.

There's so much unhappy news today, I was really in the mood for something positive. thisisbone provided it in her entry here.

"We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." -- Barack Obama
