Nothing wrong with that though. I pray we are all wrong. I hope to wake up one day (after working hard the day before) and magically the economy is better, streets are clean and safe, kids roam free and countries disarm themselves. Sunny day, not one cloud in the sky, everything perfect! I am not being sarcastic, not at all. This would be perfection to me.

One day, my friend, one day.... Hope, more important that all the preparation in the world, hope, is the most important thing that can be lost with the world tearing itself around you. Remember that when you look at your kid. They are your hope for the future, but also, you are their hope for a better tomarrow.

I believe that the world you described would be THE dream for all of us. (I keep thinking of "Star Trek" - the series and how everyone, from everywhere on this planet, joined together for a better world.)
