In response to Son Ngo's post

I agree with you to an extent Son. It is hard for me to watch sometimes because of all the negative things happening. Right when I get to the point where things are going good it really seems like shit is going down all over the world. I have never boycotted it completely but do go through phases. After watching for a period of time, it gets to be so depressive. I cant remember the last time I heard of something positive out of the news. So when it gets to that point I stop watching for a couple weeks. This normally lasts until someone is talking about a what happened on the news today and then I start watching again. I think I just feel like I am missing something. One good thing is that in some cases the news is trying to warn you. For example, the Vancouver car break in. Once lady said she lived on Mill Plain and in a nice area. She never thought her car would get broken into. Once I saw this I was glad because I live close to where all these break in's are happening. Now I know to double check my car is locked and make sure to keep valuables out. I believe I gained something from that story even though it still was a negative story.
