We need more relaxing on this site. A bit less “we’re doomed”. or at least a time-out.

I agree. And let’s all try to be nicer to one another. :) Fights are good sometimes to break up the monotony, but I do like a heavy dose of sweetness, too. :)

If you are interested in more from this composer, I discovered him yesterday. Kingdom of the Bards was on this compilation of his music (link below). Lots of good tunes, I thought.

A bit less “we’re doomed”

Around July 4th, I was watching videos from the John Adams miniseries. I came across this video by David McCullough talking about John Adams and others, education, modern students, memories of his education and other subjects. It was a really interesting video to me.

If you or anyone else is interested he talks about the great men and women from our history being very flawed characters. Often plagued with doom and despair, but they kept going. He talks about optimism, and I think it applies to what you just said. It's from about 27:00 to 29:00 in this video. I thought it was kind of inspiring.
