It's hard to stay that way with the constant negativity from the left. I used to put most of it down to partisanship. But I am becoming convinced that it now the permanent outlook of the left. I class it with the John-Birch paranoia of the right in the 1960s. It comes from being long out of power and despairing of being able to change the situation. The best you can wish for is for the world to go to hell in a handbasket, and then won't they be sorry they didn't listen to you! Eventually the conservatives recovered and put a new set of ideas together. I hope the left does so too.

"It's hard to stay that way with the constant negativity from the left. I used to put most of it down to partisanship. But I am becoming convinced that it now the permanent outlook of the left." --- Well, your rule of shortterm pessimism and longterm optimism should apply. After the rightwingers went off the deep end crucifying -- er, impeaching -- Clinton, the leftwingers began delivering payback. Unfortunately, the lefty leadership also went off the deep end, and the followers have become convinced that it's "cool" to be pissed off about Bush and the Boogeymen. (Just as Rush made it cool to slam "liberals.") It's actually just a fad. I think it will pass before too long.
