Well, by my estimation there's always hope.
Things I believe:

"If you don't try, there's no opportunity to succeed."

"Don't expect to see a change, if you don't make one."

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interupt the person doing it."

"I am a force to be reckoned with."

I understand that the ball has started rolling, but there are also powers that can change the course of history and I am willing to be one of those that help facilitate that.

I understand your perspective, yet there is always hope.
