Borderstone,
What about all the people who "got married", "had a kid", "bought a car", "got saved", "found a friend", "bought a dog", etc. etc. ? They're all better off, no ? I think you will find that optimism, hard work and maybe a little faith, in anything really, will take you a whole lot closer to your goals in life than blaming your problems on a president, or a prime minister or the king. Light one candle dude, there's enough people cursing the darkness.
Peace,
Bill
