    “If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.” — Noam Chomsky

    Funny you should say that because as it turns out, Havenstein is a big Chomsky fan.

    Given that I’d think he would feel more comfortable at left guard than right.

    Charleton Heston agreed with Chomsky and zn too….for a while…

    ….anywayz, Hope or No-Hope are too black and white. Right? I mean what ‘kind’ of ‘hope’ are we talking about? In what context? Hope is one of those words like ‘love’ thats almost impossible to define outside a narrow context.

    For example once the Titanic hit the iceberg it WAS going to sink. Should the passengers have had ‘hope’? Hope for what? What ‘kind’ of ‘hope’ was good and what kind was counter-productive, etc, etc.

    Sometimes ‘hoping’ just means hoping for a lifeboat in the dark cold ocean, maybe. i dunno.

    I dont have any hope the American Corporotacracy is going be reigned in.

    Remember, wv, it;s not evidence on these things.

    It’s how one interprets the evidence.

    And when it comes to that, until history is history (and often not even then), it;s open. ‘

    I think the question really gets down to how one chooses to live.

    For example, there is even such a thing as being defiant in the face of seemingly stacked odds.

    Which is how I assume you choose to live, given how you generally conduct yourself.
