We Can't Afford to Be Cynical

It's regrettably easy to be cynical about the possibility of change in a moment like this. But you would argue against cynicism? I would, for the simple reason that we can't afford to be cynical. The stake's ore way too high. Too many children have experienced these types of tragedies at their schools. So the notion that because it hasn't happened already means that it'll never happen is, to me, a form of sort of weary defeatism.
