LOL. Well, I've never heard that before.
I didn't used to be Pollyannaish. I was as smart, witty and cynical as they come. But strangely enough, when I decided to give the pollyanna way a try because things couldn't get any worse...my life got better, the future brighter and things started getting accomplished.
So laugh all you want. Deride me as stupid. But it was one amazingly successful philisophical shift for my life. The smartest thing I EVER did was learn to be positive at the risk of sounding stupid.
Funniest part is that is why, and how, I became conservative.
Well, I'm glad you're happy now, but perhaps it's not a good thing to look at politics this way.
You are right of course. "Optimism is a force multiplier."---Colin Powell
