So the news is doing a bad job. Who knew... Seriously though, wouldn't it be great if we all could get better facts about the actual state of the world? It would have been awesome! There are so many people living in fear of the supposed worse state of the global world, that would benefit from a much mor accurate and lighter view of the world as it really is. I for one would probably need some more uplifting information when it comes to refugees: there is just one big dark lump in media about how every country in the EU is neglecting refugees a place in their country, away from war and terror. It probably is also true, but I would asume there are some great news about it aswell. And the list can go on for eachone of us.

Let's not be ignorant.

Take the news showing a house on fire. This is all they report on all day and they keep showing video of the house on fire even though it burnt to the ground in the first 45 minutes. 45 million people watch that and all of a sudden go out and do things to try and protect their own homes from fire. All in a world of 6 billion people. Many people who claim to have some idea about the direction the world needs to move have never been out of their own country, sometimes their own state but claim to have a good idea what's actually going on in the world and what needs to change.
Further when someone actually wants to change something how is that done? No one has time to do that...not and work to bring home money. So your next option is to donate time or money to groups who may not support exactly what you are after but are as close as you are going to get.

Humans do not know how to live in a world of this many people. Once the general population realizes they far out number "authorities" you are going to see the break down of civilization as we know it. Look at all the cop murders taking place. Look up something called the knockout game online. This is the beginning of the break down of society. I think its fair to say Obama has ushered this time in. Speaking on behalf of law breakers but not for those upholding the law.
Watch as the world decends into chaos and wait until you sit back thinking this is what you wanted. Then your home is broken into, wife raped, family killed all by thugs. Youll cry out for justice and get none because theres not enough man power to do anything about it. Its happening all around you. But youll have the consultation of knowing its what you wanted to keep you warm at night.
Ignorant humans.
