Very good work!
By the way, you can always "EDIT" any post or comment before it's 1 week old. So, you did not have to make a separate comment, you could have simply clicked "EDIT" and changed the second sentence.
By the way, my friends and I were punk rockers in the late 1970s. We were a bit nihilistic, but I for one always had hope. I always remained optimistic.
But nowadays I look at the world of global politics and economics and think ... if I were a youth today, I'd be a nihilistic punk!!
Yes, you are right. I should have just clicked on "edit". I am a big enough fool to remain optimistic no matter what! Maybe just my way of preserving my mental health.
