I don't know that doom and gloom has EVER been a good way to motivate. Show me some sort of modern motivational techniques that uses depressing, end-is-near tactics to lead a charge. Show me what great battles, show me what great political victories, show me what great achievements, show me what great accomplishments...have been made by a leader saying "the end is near!"

No one is interested in following your doom and gloom message not because of the message, but because of the way it's delivered.

As for me. Yeah, if Bush doesn't leave office in 2008 then you can bet I'll be there in front of the white house ready to forcefully remove him. Unlike you, I don't think the end is near. I think we'll have elections in 2008. I think the Democrats will win. I think things will get better.

If you want to be a leader, you need to make people want to follow you. Few will follow the leader saying "it's too late, why bother, you're all idiot enablers, this won't work."
