Here is to a better year.

We live in an atmosphere of fear and confusion. We are bombarded with recalls, news of contaminated foods, and investigative reports of mishandling of power. Our trust factor is at zero. We have newspapers endorsing candidates. I thought newspapers were objective. We have celebrities claiming their favorite candidate is right. Why does good acting make one a political expert? We explain things as black and white rather than tones of grey. Why must we word “pro life” or “pro choice”, what about pro lives- mother and fetus? We read only negative or bad and provocative news. Where did all the good go?
As the New Year begins can newspapers think before they report? Can they use the oath, as do doctors, of “do no harm”? Can we see joy? Can we celebrate good things before our own final recall?
