Sorry, Fut, but the whole thing started yesterday because of a poster who felt that he was "lost in a jungle" and greeneyes said she felt more like she was "on an island wearing rose colored glasses." 

Guess what......I said I'd rather be with her than in the jungle.

This became a tempest in a teapot.

Being optimistic is no more a crime than being pessimistic.  We're all capable of seeing what's going on and entertaining the emotions we choose regarding the whole scene.
