WHO’S GOT IT RIGHT

Is everybody a Neanderthal? Is everybody a sicko?
If you watch the news and agree with the world as they portray it we certainly all must be both. Otherwise, why would we allow ourselves to wallow in the swill the media dishes up as daily fare?
Just suppose for a minute we weren’t bombarded with the detritus of wars and the corrupt behavior of our leaders. Suppose, instead, we were served a diet of honorable deeds among men. Suppose the media provided a progressively encouraging menu of scientific breakthroughs improving the quality of our lives and beating back the misery afflicting humans everywhere. And, for the sake of argument, lets say articles of this sort can be found on page one. Would people stop buying newspapers or stop watching the evening news?
Would the current state of world affairs continue to decline? Or would the world begin to shift toward a more benign and civil minded mentality? Suppose we were encouraged to hope for a better future based on scientific quantum leaps in health care and clean and renewable energy sources. The only losers in such a scenario would be the mass producers of destruction whose profits come from a mind set stuck in 2000 year old sand. Only profits which come from the perpetuation and reinforcing of the basest of human emotions would be at risk.
I, for one, believe the world could survive an onslaught of positive news and would be far better for it. If you agree, email me at: email@parmsplace.com
