Boy am I ready for some good news! Recently a 2 1/2 year old blonde cutie was taken into the desert, doused with gasoline and set on fire! By her father! He claims he was abused as a child and wasn't responsible for his actions! (I don't swear or I'd tell you what I think should be done to him!) I liked this poem..it's truth rings clearly!

Michael - An accurate description of
what we are bombarded with nightly.
Makes me want to change the channel.
Or better yet ... turn it off.
Unfortunately, it is a fact of life.
Will it change?
I believe the change is coming.

Michael you've described this well! Matter of fact we hear so little good news anymore, that I don't even turn the news on anymore!

Thanks guy for allowing me to "vent" a little. LOL, I just wish there was more good news coming to view sometimes. I sure thank God for Passions, I get the best news possible on a daily dose here.
