HALF FULL/HALF EMPTY

DISCONNECT: TO SEVER TO SEPARATE TO DISJOINT
OBLIVIOUS: FORGETTING OR HEEDLESSNESS

CAN I SAY THAT A GROWNUP WHO HOPES TO FULFILL HIS DREAM BY FINALLY ATTENDING A GAME AND ANOTHER WHO CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON BEGINS AT THE END OF AUGUST (A MERE MONTH AND A HALF AWAY) - ARE DISCONNECTED FROM OR OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT'S TRANSPIRING IN THE REAL WORLD?

OR SHOULD I SAY THAT BOTH GROWNUPS ARE CONNECTED AND ATTENTIVE TO ONLY WHAT REPRESENTS THEIR REAL WORLD?

THE MELTING POT FOR AMERICANS IS EITHER HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL DEPENDING UPON ONE'S PERSPECTIVE AND PRIORITIES. THE OPTIMISTS SURELY REPRESENT THE HALF OF SPORTS MANIACS, SPORTS BEING AN IMPORTANT MICROCOSM. THE OTHER HALF REPRESENTS CITIZENS PESSIMISTIC ABOUT ISSUES OF THE MACROCOSM, SUCH AS OUR SECURITY, MORAL CULTURE, EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, POLITICAL LEADERSHIP, JUSTICE SYSTEM, LAWS AND FRANCHISE. SPORTS' PESSIMISTS OR REALISTIC OPTIMISTS ARE FEW.

I CAN SAY THAT ONLY HALF OF OUR CITIZENRY CAST INFORMED VOTES IN ELECTIONS. WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS HOW THE BLENDING IN THE POT WILL AFFECT AMERICA'S FUTURE.
