You know we do what we can...we try to make a difference...and in a small way we do make a difference. I have to believe that the things I have done did make a difference. I grew up with the Cuban Missle crisis, Vietnam and etc...then became a welfare caseworker. I did help. Was it enough? Of course not..not by a long shot! I have to believe in hope though, and my grandchildren and so many others to change things.!!..granddaughter is a freshman at college.....she needs to have hope...The bad things will always exist as long as there are humans walking the planet, but the good that has come from some of them as been awesome.....medical advance, advances in physics etc.......there is good.....we can't neglect the bad for without looking at the bad, we cannot fix it......so we go on...one day at a time.....making our own small differences, and things do change...slowly...
