Millennia of religion has softened us up to accept assertions without evidence - 17 in this case.

Millennia of religion has softened us up to accept assertions without evidence - 17 in this case. These are smart, honest guys; Hasan, Lakoff and Duran, and I don't believe that they intend to distract us from reality but that's all this list does. Be hopeful. Don't be negative. The young people will save us - yes, really, this time. Not like last time when we were the young people with the energy and passion and answers. I could go down the list but so can you. Vibes won't help. If hope doesn't work, try crossing your fingers. Sign all the petitions with no effect other than getting you on more email lists soliciting donations. Be proactive in response to bad stuff, then look-up the definition of "proactive". Only trust the stuff you trust. Hydrate! History is full of the lessons that warned us to not arrive here. Persistence rhymes with resistance and that's only one of its positive (not negative!) qualities. I'm not being negative - I'm positive that this is well-meaning but useless drivel. I'm not being mean. These are three guys we truly need but why aren't they versed in the uselessness of hope; on a good day! On bad days, hope forestalls action. The opposite of hope is not hopeless; the opposite of hope is action. Don't board that train in Warsaw and hope that there aren't Nazis with ovens at the last stop. Hope is all you have left when you have no power - but a million of us have power. We are distracted from our collective power by hope.
