humans being bad to humans

[mckitterick]

Okay, changing my daily routine. Turned off the noon-time NPR news show for probably the first time ever. When I feel like this, it's just a bit too much to listen to reports from Iraq - like the bomb-defuser who was targeted and blown up for being good at his job... in front of a hospital.

Why isn't there any good news? Why are humans so awful to one another? Why should we want to save the human species when it's so intent on destroying itself, rotting away its core?

Off to nap for an hour before the competition.

We had a roundtable discussion today at a metro-coop (cannot explain right now) in which we browsed “good news” ideas. This brought up a few ideas… Its really friggin hard to report anything good around the economy/world events right now – but we are trying.
But really - since only a smidgen of what happens actually gets reported... sometimes working in news right now,,, can be a bit much day-in-and-out...
