I agree with most of what you say except the video games teaching kids bad things. I was raised to know what's right and wrong and I never confused my love of "space invaders" to actually attack another world! Thanks for your interesting note.

I believe we draw to us what we focus on and I think the news reports always focus on the bad/negative things. It seems like the great things that are happening in the world go unreported. I think as a society it's time for us to take responsibility for what we are creating. I agree prices are high but the public already knows that I don't think it needs to be sensationalized. Of course I believe maybe the crime rates would go down if crime shows where not on tv every day for young impressionable minds to watch. We wonder why junior high kids are stealing but the video games we buy are grand theft auto---- dah. I for one would like to see a balance between the great uplifting things in the world and true news worthy events. Thanks for what you do. Carol I agree with Sarah.
