I'm with you on the news and commercials. I like the history of the newscasts, but they don't depress me. Social change, if it is to last, has to come slowly and be gradually internalized by the individual. The major changes brought about by revolution, coup d'etat, and so on, don't last. I'm hoping that, any day now, Myanmar will once again become Burma. It took 70 years for Socialism to die as a major force in the former U.S.S.R., but it did happen. And, how long did Nazi Germany last? Not that long. So, a responsible and responsive government, a true market-driven economy, and so on, are going to take a while, and I don't expect to see much change in my lifetime. But, I'm a pragmatist, I guess, for some things, and an optimist for others.
