The planet is fine. The people living on it are messed up and crazy, more often than not.... but they've also accomplished many amazing things, and continue to do so at increasing rates.
I've got confidence in us. The world grows more prosperous and free every day. Technology advances unabated. If the past is any indication of the future, we'll overcome our petty squabbles and material scarcities in time. And it will be people like most of us Ron Paul supporters who make it happen --- the undeterrable few, who work tirelessly to set fires of freedom in the minds of man and lead lives of virtue and excellence setting standard for others to emulate.
