I really hate to say this but I think most people tend to be good, decent, and hard working. In today’s world only shitheads and crazies get good press. Bad news sells.... sells a lot apparently.

Now good has many levels, here is an example.

My wife and I are known as the heathen and saint (guess who is who)
I call my wife a holly roller, zealous is not the word :P
She started a ball team for handicapped kids, has kept it going for 9 yrs.
She met an elderly woman who was going to the doctor, potently bad news (it was). The woman had no family so my wife offered to go along to offer comfort and companionship. We don't know this old woman (well my wife does now :P
It's always someone or something and lectures about forgiving and understanding.

My wife is very ill, has been for over 13 yrs, and about a year ago she almost died...very close but she never blames anyone and has never wavered in her faith.

You know what she fears most hahahaha is that I will die without seeing the light..... I tell her I will get away from her one way or the other.

There is a point hold on.

I would not do most of the things she does not my style, I don't steal, don't take anything that I haven’t earned and I always provide for my family and protect them. I do however raise hell, cuss a lot, drink from time to time.... I tell it like I see it and care not the least if you like it or not.

The point....we are both basically good, she goes overboard like always but still we are both on the good side and I think most people, not just Americans, but people fall in the broad scope of the good category.

Seriously look around and see the good, it is out there, we are just too busy most times to see it. The news won’t show it....good does not sell.

One more thing, you are not entitled to great success or even mediocre success, you get what you earn in most cases. Based off of the decisions you make in life, good choices good life, bad ones well you get the idea. What happened yesterday does not matter, nothing anyone did wrong to you can make you do wrong tomorrow.... people in general have to pick themselves up and just try again.

Puts soap box away!
