Hope for change?

Hope for change? Is it hopeless? Will things ever change? Will anyone read me here in the wilderness where I’m wandering around now into my 4th year.

Will advocates against child abuse stop using phrases like "non-offending care-givers" or words like "pro-active" as if all parents and guardians must be suspect? Will advocates cease the assumption that regarding youth, "any unruly case" equals abuse? Will advocates who are courageous enough to use the word Christmas for fund-raising events stick to their guns when the politically-correct and anti-religious liberal left criticizes and challenges them? Will smart advocates shun government ‘help’ because it usually hurts the welfare of children?

I see the blessings of present and future scenarios about the welfare of children as mixed. Can we hope to change the continental divide between liberals and conservatives ( forget the political labels of Democrat and Republican because we all know Americans are separated into franchised halves)? Can we hope to change absent parenting by replacing it with hired care-giving?
