Wake-up Call

I woke up this morning to my radio alarm at the precise moment the MPR speaker said "81 percent of Americans think the U.S. on the wrong track." I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Bad because we are most definitely on the wrong track, and despite the phrasing's abstract language, it has led to real harm in the world. Good, because the American people are finally waking up to this fact. Let's go fore hopeful today and pick the later.

P.S. I refuse to allow Obama fanaticism steal the word hope from my vocabulary. I use it with no such political connotations.
