Episode 154: Wild Optimism

Summary

Having a child is, perforce, an act of hope and optimism. I am sad for so many of the 20 and 30-somethings of today who vehemently declare that they will not be bringing new life into this world. It means that they have lost hope for the future in some measure. Given the current state of affairs one can hardly blame them. 

In 1989 the world was not so grim, at least not in my sunny corner. This episode is a small comparison of outlooks.
