Driving in my car I looked around the world today. Ignoring the graffiti of violence and profanity that floods the news rooms and paints morbid pictures on the black box, I began to see a promising place. Yes, I crack at the signs announcing new low-fat, low-carb, low sodium, low sugar, etc. Promising high protien high soy high energy high vitamine etc. Even if we have gone nuts about "the diet", at least we're not blind to the obvious obese problems of our culture and are making efforts to correct large, but small corruptions. Even in the pretty buildings I spy advancement; energy efficient, environmental friendly, cost efficient; so we're not TOO deficient. We may be ridiculous and out of focus on "matters that matter", but who is to decide? We're far from perfect, but we're getting better. Yes, we're most definitely getting better, Even if we are far from the best. .D.P.Thinker.
