2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Who would ever want to ask our young people to scale back their dreams and goals? [View all]haikugal
(6,476 posts)75. Thank you so much for this OP
And all of your feisty and informed comments in this thread. Well done!
I'm one of the millions who stand with you, poverty, bad health and all! We will never give up and give in and neither will our children. Anyone who expects us to all shut up and get in line is in for a huge disappointment.
Keep fighting the good fight...this is a marathon and the enemy will not hesitate to use everything at their disposal.
Kick!!!

The biggest obstacle of all is a self determined defeatism, a lack to even fight but to concede.
