Optimists are often disappointed because they expect everything will be just fine. Pessimists are seldom disappointed because they expect things to go wrong. Realists see things as they are, hope they can make things better, but prepare for failure. At this point our government is a total failure and nothing like what the founding fathers envisioned. The Constitution is no longer even a suggestion, the government violates it daily. I hope we can turn things around but I am not optimistic it will happen.
