John is right. As long as there are those with the will and courage to fight, there is always hope... always a chance for the tide to turn.

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.
"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.
Don't say the second when you mean the first.
