The news these days is rarely cheerful. That's why I try not to read it or watch it on TV, You Tube whatever. When I'm looking for bad news I seek out alternative to the current status quo. Geri was on the lap top this morning while I was checking my mail, and she was reading the story about the little girl who was killed in our neighborhood. The OPD caught the killers, and they deserve a hell of a lot of praise for doing so. The men who were arrested were nothing but heartless stone cold killers. The guy they were looking to kill wasn't even in the house. Just killing for killing sake.The little girl was one of lord knows how many people this one guy murdered. This was an investigation that took thousands of man hours. This was what I call good news.
This is what I call bad news. Another story that was disturbing was about 91 elephants that were killer in Africa by poachers who used cyanide, 91 elephants. The biggest land animal on earth, and one of the most gentle species in the world, killed for what? So, some rich guy in China can get an erection? Next time you hear about an elephant that goes on a rampage and tramples a whole village of people don't ask why. News travels.
Lastly, what everyone is talking about is the government shut down. I say this is good news. They don't do anything anyway. They can't get any problems solved. The country is being run by a bunch of grade-school children who love wars, bankers and stockbrokers. If the tea bagger idiots who were elected to office are so anti-fucking government why did they want to become part of it? To change it from the inside out, in AMERICA? Right.
And if you're disappointed because you came from Australia to visit the Grand Canyon, and you can't because it's shuts down, you can go to Las Vegas. Or find a barbie and throw some shrimp on it. Nothing dysfunctional ever happens in Australia, just ask the Aborigines.
Never underestimate the cruelty of the human condition. I'll have to figure out something to brighten my spirits before this day is out. A visit from Alice and nice dinner works well for me.
It's much easier dealing with animals for a living than people. I'm feeling better already.
