Or, I'm pushing 70 years old and have had my hopes crushed so many times, that I feel the need to warn people about what is not going to happen.

    You're actively trying to leave a feeling of despair and hopelessness for the next generation. You say it like it's a public service too.

    If you're 70 you have experienced the Sovietunion falling apart, relatively peacefully. Biggest miracle in recent history. All it took was a somewhat reasonable leader (Gorbachev) coming after a series of senile nightmares. Eerily similar to another country today. There's always hope.
