| It is so refreshing to read the sentiments of TMers. Patrick and rjzeller are spot on! For example, during the ten or so years of the Viet Nam War more than 65,000 service personal lost their lives and more each day from old war wounds. During the dame time period, America lost about 50, 000 lives on the highway - each year! That is not to mention the 10, 000 or so that lost their lives to cancer each year!
I guess that being an old cop has calloused my feelings somewhat. What we see and read in the news is our modern culture. Husbands and wives are usually both working just to make ends meet. Day care businesses are booming. Real estate prices are up, which makes the dream of owning a home less realistic. Credit card debt, yadahyadahyadah...
My point is that if we, as individuals do whatever we can to bring peace and goodness to this world, one situation at a time, then together we can make a difference. As for the news, it will have slow days and sensationalize whatever there is out there. Good God there's kitten stuck in a tree. HEADLINE: PREDATORY FELINE TRAPPED!!
