A lot of people have criticized Chris Hedges for his pessimistic views on a variety of subjects. Personally, I think that, if this nation itself is headed in a particularly negative direction, being realistic only SOUNDS pessimistic.
We NEED people like Chris Hedges; people who refuse to candy-coat what may well lead to our downfall. If want to alter where we're going, how can anyone hope to change to a more beneficial direction IF we can't even recognize the current course we're on?

I get accused of spouting more than my share of pessimism sometimes too. Thanks for providing me with a well stated response to the critics.
