Many people believe there is no hope for the future of the human race. Each day, we are bombarded by a pessimistic stream of messages in the news, even from our friends. Everything is getting more expensive and money is tight. Politicians are bickering. The most popular movies take place in dead or decaying worlds where "might makes right". Our TV shows feature morally bankrupt characters, and we are supposed to believe it's because there are no true heros. Bullocks!

Birth. Also, I pay taxes.
