Plenty of discouraging stuff going on that I see or hear about first hand all around me.
Never used to bother me so much when I did read or watch - not sure what change - me I'm sure.
As far as philosophy Paul I just hope that we all get what we deserve...
Don't necessarily see it - just hope it.

John, if you don't like what you see, then don't look. But that is stupid-
You are going to find that people are STUPID. We come across as intelligent, but in the end we have 98% the same DNA as chimpanzees. I'm surprised we cannot mate with them, considering some of the rednecks that live near me! In any case, if you want to believe that the human race is horrible, then you will, and everything will look gray.
There are plenty of wonderful people in the world, but we are stupid animals and we make terrible mistakes from time to time. The thing to do is to try to change it. In every job I've ever had, I've had to fight and cajole and work to get into the situation, and when I got there, I tried to improve the place. I've never been fired from a job, and every job I've left was better than when I started. I post a lot of crap on the OT: Politics and Religion section because I think that a lot of negative people with only $ signs in their eyes are actively trying to change the United States. They are being supported by a lot of people who have lost the ability to think, and have a lot of hatred in their heart. I won't stand for ANY of it, and I take action. I took action on two occasions in the past 18 years that I've been an airline pilot, literally grabbing the controls from captain's that had lost control of the airplane. I won't let anyone kill me, and I won't allow any one to SCREW me either!
The long and short is if you want to shut your eyes, then do it, but you'd be better off engaging society and the news and trying to make it better.
N!
