Lets hope this is the point, and that recovery can now begin. However, hopefully, by not trying to restore the old way, but by using this opportunity to create something more solid and just. Though I have my doubts, not that i think it is not possible, but I doubt that it is possible with the current people in power.

I do agree that we should hope to create something more just and lasting out of the ashes---because I refuse counsels of despair on principle. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
