An unanswered question

Note:  I originally wrote this post in April 2009 and either forgot to post it, or posted a modified version (I found this in the drafts section).  It's nearly five years later and the divide is growing wider.






I wonder if we'll ever be able to work things out in this country? And the world for that matter. It seems to me there are people born with a positive, hopeful attitude and others who are born with a glass half empty, its a dog eat dog world attitude.
How will we learn to live together?

One side is motivated by hope and the other by fear.
