Staying positive is not an easy thing to do today when all you hear about on the news or read in the newspaper is the bad stuff.  Yes, there are bad people out there in the world, nasty people who enjoy causing pain and suffering.  There are greedy people who have no hearts.

     However, there are good people out there too, generous and giving people.  Wouldn’t it be great if we heard more about them?  I could stand seeing the headlines shout about more good stuff for a change.  Maybe if the crap stuff that people do went from front-page news to a minor paragraph on page ten, or a short blurb on the TV news, fewer thrill seekers would be vying for their fifteen minutes of fame.

     Give me less Hollywood idiocy and show me true good acts and kindnesses.  I do not care which star is screwing which, nor do I give a darn about the so-called reality shows where backbiting is the norm. 

     Give me real heroes and fewer lunatics and for crying out loud, if the politician can’t keep it in his pants quickly get him out of office and don’t tell me about it day after day after day for months.  Once is enough.
