where others will become infected with it. It can be so easy to get depressed with endless bad news threads. I've always been one who naturally thinks about the future potential of innovations and the endless fields of possibilities ahead of us. When people put their brains to a task by intending to solve a present problem it can be done.

We seem to be losing our can do mentality, at least on a political level. Yet some of the greatest feats of engineering, like the Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge, our (now taken for granted) interstate highway system and our Space Program all wouldn't have been possible without our government.
