You know, I'm hopeful too. I'm hopeful that one of these days it will occur to Barry to ask himself why, if he's so full of hope, on FFL he is so often deliberately hateful and dishonest. Just doesn't really seem to go with hope, you know? Sounds a lot more like someone taking a pose, trying very hard to convince us and himself that he's somebody he isn't, a better person than he actually is. I guess that must be what he's so hopeful about, huh?
