    William Zeallor

    Still got that "glimmer of hope" Glenn?

    No - I'm hoping to join the crowd of super-sophisticates now by talking about how hopeless everything is, how nothing can be changed, how all is lost, how it's all pointless, how only the naive and foolish would care.

    I need to feel cool and sophisticated and above-it-all so I've decided to become a resigned defeatist who endless whines about the joys of hopelessness and then struts around thinking that this makes me wise (while shouting at everyone about how my defeatism makes me so wise just in case they don't see it for themselves).
