Today I really wonder seeing all these headlines in one day. What prompts such behavior by people? It is really depressing to see all of these things. <br />n<br />nMy Darling Wife always says that stuff like this is why she doesn't read the paper sometimes. But burying our heads in the sand doesn't make the problems go away, it just hides them from our sight. <br />n<br />nThings like these stories always get me down. I then really have to think that while there are a bunch of stories today along these lines, they are not the norm. Also it's news. They report on garbage like this. The large majority of people in this world are good and decent even if all we read in the news is about the scumbags. That doesn't maker everybody in the world a scumbag, just the idiots we read about getting caught. There is the key, just the ones getting caught. How many dirt balls are getting away with this behavior? One is too many and I bet more than one is.<br />n<br />nOh well, all we can do is live a good life and hope the system works that catches these ass holes. They're not worth me getting depressed about.<br />n<br />n<strong>This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it. William James</strong>
