You have no cause for depression, as these seeming catastrophes in fact only come to your mind by virtue of "the overreporting of the negative." People emphasize and publicize the bad things that happen, and so we hear of them the most. Every generation thinks they live through the Apocalypse, but none ever do or will.
Now sing from Monty Python... "Always look on the bright side of life..." I will award cookies and bonus points for crucifying oneself while singing.
Yeah, I'm really fucking tired.
Darn! Why anomon? I read everyone's post, and when I get to the last one, it makes my point.
Anyway, people and the media in general focus on the negative. There are no news stories of me and the large number of kids who spend thier Christmas vacations repairing old peoples rotting homes out of the kindness of our hearts.
By the way, not to advertise too much but...
The organization that I support is called Homeworks. We go around and fix up old houses of the poor and old. It is mostly based in Columbia, South Carolina, but we also do a Peru trip. I never got to do that part, because I couldn't get the innoculations...
Anyway, If you are in the Carolina area, and would like to do some good with me and Homeworks, let me know, and I can give you a website with information.
You are talking about groups to change the world? This is one of them, and i've been doing it for two years now, and it makes a difference.
