One of the things that I try to tell myself
when I'm feeling particularly bleak about          DEATH_OF_THE_REPUBLIC
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. 


  So tone down
  the rhetoric.

  Moderate the
  flights of
  paranoia.

  What's more likely
  to be the case?
