One of the things that I try to                
tell myself when I'm feeling                       DEATH_OF_THE_REPUBLIC
particularly bleak about the    
state of the world, is that I'm                  
a particularly negative person: 
pessimism comes very easy to me.
                                             
   Reallly, it's as rare for the
   world to live up to our
   nightmares as our dreams.
          
        It's never as dark or         
        light as we think.            BLANKER_THAN_YOU_THINK


  So tone down
  the rhetoric.

  Moderate the
  flights of
  paranoia.

  What's more likely
  to be the case?
