Optimism is Catchy: Wynn to open Encore!

Some mope with doom and gloom & seek compounded stimulus"; but I favor a positive "Wynn-win", where 90% positive attitude plus 100% effort, equals strives for 100% success.


These are cycles, and leadership should stand with optimism... Americans don't need to be slammed with continual negativity... Possibility takes on different shapes of strength... As shifts, changing innovations, and budding new values emerge... We need cheerleaders and not snivelers, to represent the true America... Do it, and the slump will shift.
