Now that is a far better post with a good question. So here goes.

Hope needs to Ben tempered with reality. When it extends beyond reality, then it becomes fantasy. So I would never encourage a 80 year olds, who is several pills for blood pressure diabetes etc. to go and climb Mt. Everest. John Glen did what he could was because he maintained his health.

And lastly, why is it you can very well see Obama telling kids not to have hope. Is this a production of the propaganda machine or is it based on some specific incident where he told some kids so. As far as I know it is folks like Santorum who is against education and chided Obama for saying that he wanted to provide educational opportunities for all.
