That's where most of us are, or have been. I've been there. The world is SO short on positive news. 88% of people (and this was about 5 years ago) PREFER negative but EXCITING news. "Pit Bulls!!!" "SWAT TEAMS!!!!" "Murder" "Gang Violence" "Child Raped" 'Child dies"

It's NOT an accurate reflection of what's going on. How many AWESOME acts of courage and kindness happened in Metro today? How many lives saved at Children's Hospital? How many celebrations, breakthroughs, and selfless acts of kindness?

You would never know, because that's NOT what the money makers make money on. Why? Nobody knows. Not Paul Harvey, Larry King, Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw know. And if THEY admittedly don't know, how should we.

What I DO KNOW, is that there is a LOT more good going on then they will ever tell you.

Keep the faith Reenstar, it's NOT that bad. Take courage.
Hey Farmer Steve,

Yes, I have to agree. We have made soooo many strides since we began our fight in 2000. Yes, sadly, 10 years later not only are we still fighting it but it's getting more intense. But, if it weren't for the likes of each and everyone one of you on this board and thousdans who are not, we are where we are today. We will keep going and we WILL Prevail! Good always triumphs over evil in the end.

Reenstar, Don't give up hope! Even if we do take steps back we will regain them and then some. They can't hold back the winds of change long. It's FAR too big now. When we make strides here in Colorado we're not only helping ourselvs but we're helping our brothers and sisters worldwide because, as usual, "the world is watching."

From one activist to another thank you for doing what you have done and keep it up. Tell your friends who arn't active to become active. It is in numbers we have power. United we stand; devided we fall.

Right, a lil less talking; a LOT more medicating. :S5:


Don't lose hope, friend,

JaB
