Sir, - I would like to take issue with Gerard Sheehy on his depressing Millennium philosophy (May 4th). Does he want to write off the next thousand years just because none of us can last that long?
Let us look forward to the next hour, day, year - and live our lives with optimism, happiness and the knowledge that each one of us has a part to play in the future of our world, and our families. - Yours, etc., Ann R. Barnes,
