Where?

is progress and momentum occurring? What part of the present gives confidence about the future of this nation?

So far, when I've asked this question, people have given me only vague generalities, or, when they give specifics, those specifics fall apart after a few questions.

Are there enough people who want to make things better, who don't want to be misled by illusion, who don't want to delude themselves, who don't want to retreat into escapism and denial and absurd jingoism?

I have what I want to be the answer to that. But so far, I have come to no answer.
