I'll take a dip of the good stuff!!

Thanks to Time Magazine and my students recieving Time for Kids, I am the honorary recipient of Time Magazine...which I hate! They are liberal, annoying, and I think that it is a waste of a tree for them to send me one!

When I do read it, the only reason is there is an interesting cover story. ie greatest inventions, year in pictures, etc...

Which brings me to my rant! As I was looking through the year in pictures, I noticed that there is not one positive picture in the issue. There are houses burning, dead people, lonely people, stranded tsunami surviors, floods, dead popes, lonely military men in Iraq, and many more depressing photos, and the only thing they are convincing me of is that the world is in terrible shape.

I think this is hogwash! Where are the pictures of people recieving aid, the smoke announcing a new healthier pope, people enjoying the revitalized clubs in New Orleans (slim as that number might be), where are the new houses being built, the tents being set up for earthquake torn areas, insurgents being snuffed out and Iraqis voting.

If you want to know why the world is in such bad shape, it is because there is not enough good news being spread. Especially at this festive time of year, I would like to hear the great things humanity is doing, read the articles, and see the pictures. If the media would show some of this, I imagine that the world would slowly become a better place!
