Quietly, quietly, in the background, .... there is hope.

Good news.

There really is -- and always has been -- more hope, positive and good things than we'd expect if we base our estimations on what we see on our corrosive and toxic media, which appeals to doubts and fear and like to sensationalize everything.

Look at the progress of the car, the airplane, the bicycle, the computer, etc. etc. etc. -- vast improvements due to human intelligence working together to make better things.

It's only in the fields of politics and war do we see more evil done than good.

I agree completely.
