Open the newspaper or tune into the news and it seems all they have is bad news. Every morning (so it seems) they start off the newscast with last evenings shootings. Then we have the people who were killed by drunk drivers, the gang violence, the fires and the co-sleeping deaths. After that we head to the national news--natural diasters like earthquakes, tornadoes and wild fires. There are wars going on. Suicide bombers. There are political uprisings all over the world. People have lost jobs, and their homes. Buinesses are going under, executives have massive golden parichutes. Politicians are busy trying to destroy each other one minute while saying how much better than the other party they are the next. The enviornment is shot. People are hungry worldwide, but we don't have enough space for all the food. Retirement is turning into a dream for many.
What I'd like to see for just one day on the news. Nobody was murdered in the whole world today. No shots were fired in anger. Nobody died in a natural disaster. Nobody's house burned down. Everyone has plenty to eat. And the weather is beautiful, sunhine for all.
