Hope

Hope was lost when the Stock market Crashed in 1929. Hope returned in 1945 when World War II ended. Hope was lost again during the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy's assasination, Robert Kennedy's assasination and Martin Luther King's assasination and hope didn't return until Nixon left the White House. When the Cold war ended and the Berlin Wall fell and the Eastern European peoples began to be free once again hope got better. When Clinton was elected Hope got the best it had been since 1945 until the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, on September 11th, 2001 hope ending was such a shock after such a decade of hope during the late 80's and 90's that people around the world felt like they all had mild Post traumatic Stress disorder at the very least.

Somehow tonight, hope returned for planet earth. Many of us thought hope was completely gone after the past few months and the really awful years since 9-11. Those of us alive long enough hadn't seen such craziness worldwide since the Cold War and the Viet Nam war that tore the soul from America.

However, somehow tonight, America got it's soul back just for a moment. Everyone could die tomorrow but somehow the world will sleep easier tonight. Not just America but the whole world. History is in the making and Hope is ALIVE. "Keep Hope alive" Each of us Citizens of Planet earth must find a way to Keep HOPE ALIVE!
