[Observer] Where is hope?

[PaperBoy]

Where is hope in a world where one out of three women globally will be victimized, raped or battered in their lifetime? Where is hope in a nation where scores of people work full time - even two or three jobs - and still can not afford basic life necessities? Where is hope in world where people suffer from genocide, war and political strife, while others do nothing to stop these injustices? We are all residents of the ruins; a world where despair and fear reigns, profit and individual merit motivates and hope is scarce.

WOW!!! Somebody needs to check this persons room and make sure they are not hanging from the ceiling fan!!!
You know it could be worse, you could be a citizen of Afghanistan or Iraq and not have any potential or abiltiy to improve yourself.
People need to stop playing the victim of society or their own fate and take an aggressive, responsible outlook on life.(what she ends up saying in the article)

People that claim there is no hope in this country should be made to serve in the military and see what other countries are like. I gaurantee it will baffle the mind.
