Hope Less

Something must be done.
This is something. Therefore we must do it
--Yes Minister, Jim Hacker

Confusion has its cost
--Helplessly Hoping,
Crosby, Stills and Nash

Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all
--Death, William Butler Yeats

[V]ision is Obama’s thing
--Dreamer in Chief,
Charles Krauthammer

What we need in America is less hope, as it is apparent that hope is not working.

What we need is:

• Less faith and more realism

• less patriotism and more skepticism

• less democracy and more freedom

• less rhetoric and more thinking

• less bailouts and more honesty

• fewer laws and more justice

• less leadership and more competence

• less obfuscation and more directness

• less vision and more clear-sightedness

Is anyone else down with this?
