Thank you for all of the responses. I do agree that the media only plays what we want to hear. They don't play the daily acts of kindness that we see in day to day life, because that would bore the majority of listeners. I don't watch the news because all it does is depress me as well.
But media asside, it doesn't stop the horror of the world we are in now. I live in a very small town and here in this town, there are some of the best people you will ever meet. But despite that, at nearly every place we go there are nasty harsh just inconsiderate people like mentioned above that have no moralls. It's like humanity is just loosing all care for anything but themselves. I'm not looking or hoping for "perfect" because I know I'm not even close I'm just looking for a place where people don't take their own problems out on the world around them. A place where people don't hate you automatically because of some nonsense they have made up in their head. A place where people don't lie cheat or steal to get what they want. A place where murder is un heard of and sexual crimes are enough to be banished.
Crime is everywhere we go, there is evil that just consumes this world and it's sickening. I can understand why people now say that it's selfish to have a child in this world. It kind of is, knowing the way the world is falling and bringing a child into all of this. But I have a child so I guess I'm selfish. Perhaps I'll just find a place in the mountains, somewhere where no one lives near for 100 miles and make a trip once a month into "town" for supplies. Antartica would be too expensive, but that would be ideal.
I just don't get what goes through peoples minds, how they can justify the way the world is today. And as far as a perfect president goes, that will never happen. Sure the government is flawwed more than they do right, but none the less, anything that goes wrong will automatically be the presidents fault so he could never be perfect. What I'm looking at is no one person in charge, that when you say every vote counts, it really means every vote counts (unlike the bush reelection, way to go Florida). Where every decision is put to a vote by the citizens and whatever the citizens vote is what happens. No secrets from the citizens, no lies and deceipt. No extra money to the government because the people would be the government.
For now I guess it will be a dream.
