Is Fear the Only Message?

Here is a sample of subject lines on recent emails from Democratic candidates and organizations:

• Giving up
• Under Attack (voting rights)
• "President Trump"
• Obamacare GUTTED
• A dangerous trend
• Serious consequences 
• EILEEN, we're about to panic

I treated myself to a Michael McDonald compilation CD for Hanukkah. These lyrics keep running through my mind:

                 Some say the road is clear.

                 Some say the end is here.

I'm not a Pollyanna. I know there are landmines, huge sinkholes and scary monsters behind every tree on the road to November 2016 and beyond. I will travel that road, but I would like a little positive inspiration. Fear doesn't do it for me.
