“When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse.
And when they do, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.”
– Malcolm S. Forbes

GOOD NEWS NETWORK --
".....From its beginning in 1997, this website has been a clearinghouse for the gathering and dissemination of positive news stories from around the globe. Since 2006, our daily dose of ‘News to Enthuse’ has confirmed for thousands of fans what we already knew to be true -- that good news itself is not in short supply; the broadcasting of it is." "Thomas Jefferson said the job of journalists was to portray accurately what was happening in society: The Good News Network was founded because the media was failing to report on the positive. In the 1990’s while homicide rates in the U.S. plummeted by 42 percent, television news coverage of murders surged more than 700 percent, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs." "The editor Norman Cousins once said, 'If news is not really news unless it is bad news, it may be difficult to claim we are an informed nation'.” About Good News Network:: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/more/about-us/ Examples: "One of the poorest nations now tops US as world's most charitable"

SCOTT ADAMS --
In addition to his internationally famous Dilbert cartoon, Scott Adams posts a daily blog with entertaining and savvy insights on current events. Example "....We’re living in one of the most interesting times in human history. We just witnessed reality forking into two separate paths right in front of us. As regular readers of this blog know, my background in hypnosis and persuasion has erased my belief that some people can see reality for what it is and some cannot. My worldview is that the human brain did not evolve to understand reality on any deep level because we don’t need that ability to survive and reproduce. If your illusion keeps you alive, it’s good enough. And that brings me to today...."

PIERRE PRADERVAND --
"When we open newspapers or watch the news on television it is easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged by the amount of negative news that is the media’s focus." "And yet, throughout the world, there are many “points of light” – people and organizations who labour hard and tirelessly to make this world one that is brighter, more equitable, and responsive to the needs of the most vulnerable among us." "Welcome, dear friend, to a practice which since time immemorial has been uplifting people of all races, beliefs, occupation, age … a non denominational practice which even agnostics can practice. However, there are many ways of practicing it and the one described here is the result of a very powerful spiritual experience I underwent many years ago."
