I was a big frames fan way back and did not have any idea to the Glen Ed connection until a few years ago. I was stumped for awhile reading all the Glen comments at first, because nobody I knew IRL had any idea about the frames.
My daughter gives me hope. She is focused and intelligent and driving to make a change. At her age all I cared about was drinking, drugs, and sex. I don’t care about drinking anymore. Glad I’ve matured.
I read about Seattle losing the hard drug war problem and the paradigm
shift towards not arresting addicts with less than 1 gram for personal.
Saving 3 million dollars spent on court system repeat "offenders" and
putting that money towards treatment programs for the repeat offenders.
Gives me hope that maybe one day we will finally get it.
My daughter gives me hope. She is 18 and just about to embark on a university course and one of englands red brick universities doing micro biology. I spoke with her yesterday and she is fascinated with helping people who are suffering from genetic diseases. Im proud . Humbled and mind blown all in one. There is hope as there are youngsters out there who care and want to make a difference.

Marvelous! Best wishes for your daughters success in college.

It sounds awesome on paper. It has resulted in Seattle becoming a shithole. Cops won't arrest someone with 3 grams of opiates. And those people piss and shit on the sidewalks and shoot up in plain view. Assaults are rampant. It is a giant clusterfuck of enabling bad behavior. I'm not sure what we're supposed to get, but I know what we got.
Edit: Sorry, I know this is the hope thread, but this particular issue is not something that gives me any sort of hope, and in fact leads to the exact opposite as I watch a segment of our society decay right before our eyes on the streets.

I have long admired Vaclav Havel's definition of hope- the idea that hope is not the conviction that things will turn out well, but that hope is doing what makes sense no matter how things turn out. That seems very positive to me. I don't find any positive or anything that makes sense in celebrating someone's death.

All Pearl Jam forum threads have rules but what I said has nothing to do with rules- it's just how I feel and think.
Let me expand:
I don't find hope in the death of someone I see as a terrible person. For example, if Trump died, I would not find hope in that even though I think Trump is a terrible person. I say this because I don't think Trump is the problem. Trump is a symptom of what I see as a larger problem.
Here, on the other hand, is someone who gives me hope:

I hear you. We all find hope in our own places. I definitely don’t hope Yang dies! (That’s as close as I get to an endorsement!)
