You know that things are really sad when you can't even watch the news for 5 minutes with out one of the top stories having something to do with violence. Every single time that I turn on the news there is a story about some horrific crime that almost sounds like a Shakespearean Tragedy. Its "Youth brings gun to school, kills 3" or "Mother of 5 kills herself in front of children" or "drive by shooting kills 7 year old girl" or something like that. I mean how can we even consider ourselves human any more considering the way that we treat each other.
I miss reading things like, "Electrical Fire Demolishes House, But Family Survives" or "10 year old Boy Saves Baby Sister From Drowning". Those are like tragedies but they have happy endings. Is there no such thing as a happy ending any more? Even newspapers and magazines are filled with this depressing dribble. I guess depression sells, disasters are made into profit margins. I realize that it is news, but can't we add in something good for a change?
