Thanks for kind words, Mitch. Actually that "remains hopeful" is a 
pretty tough sell, foremost to myself. At this event, I was one of many 
speakers who sketched the truly horrendous problems we face, the 
colossal scale, the historic momentum driving them, and the lateness of 
the hour. And then we had the unmitigated *gall* to pretend there is yet 
hope! But what else can we do? Even if we don't (logically) believe 
that, we have to live as if we do, in order to live a life that is at 
all meaningful.
