There is a lot of cyncical opinion in these comments, which is anyone's right to express. But its cleverly cloaked and made to look like a factual reflection of reality. Even going so far as qualifying a part of your comments as "opinion" then going on trying to convince people that hopelessness is not an opinion of yours, but a reflection of factual reality. it's a pretty sophisticated slight of hand. I'll give you that.
You've stated your analysis, but in the words of the Dude, "that's just like, your opinion man."
