Why everything is good.

Because I really don't know what else to say, and there has been little feedback on what you actually want to hear. I thought I'd give this a shot. I've been a bit of a downer lately, expressing where everything could be better and how I think people are ignorant. But this post is going to be on why everything is good. I bet I can give you a reason why everything has a positive, and perhaps give you insight on viewing the world in a little brighter light.

Why America is Amazing!
I think I'll start off with what Jess said. We're comfortable. We are the most self confident country in the world. We do what we want and we really don't care too much what other people think about it. We're okay with not knowing everything, because we live in the land of opportunity. The American Dream! That is always an option for us. Why because we live here?

This is the one place on earth where they encourage you by saying, "You can do anything you put your mind to". And I actually really believe that. I once heard that a problem is only a problem if you make it one. That is something to live by. Don't let the world get you down, because you're in charge of that. Things may get tough, but they get tough for a reason. Things can't be great unless you have lesser things to compare it to. So take it all in, the good and the bad, and realize that all these things will happen. But when something horrible happens, try to see the bright side, and the possibility in it all and change your point of view. Maybe there is a happier or better stance you can take.

Argument Hour: Where America Can Do Better 2

Addition

Media:
The American media has an important role. They are the gateway to information for many people who do not have the time to research every little aspect of life. I think that it is within this we need more probing news. I do not doubt that the news prods and pokes at different things. But, there are definitely segments of their broadcast that are needless. You do not need to criticize and ridicule everything that Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton or Britney Spears does. Leave that to Entertainment News or Access Hollywood.

As far as CNN and Fox News goes, this will never happen, but I have some ideas. Fuck this whole biased shit. Don't skew your reports to seem more liberal, more conservative, more this or more that. Just report the fuckin news. Let us decide for ourselves. You are just allowing the United States to become dumb. They're beginning to believe everything and I mean everything you say, and spitting it back out like it is their own knowledge. That's why I say question what you hear. There are too many ways for people to speak to get what they want. Read the Tipping Point, or take a stats class, or even a business writing class. They'll show you how you can speak to get what you want. But all this bias does, is make us resort to pettiness.

If all the news companies could speak like this to convey their way, then they are going to find any means to one up the competition. You know what then ends up happening? "This company is ignorant." or "That candidate is an idiot." Is this not what happened to Bush. Like I said, spit it back out. Bush is an idiot why? Because he's not a good public speaker? Just because he sounds like one? Or because you disagree with the war in Iraq? Or because that's how the media portrays him?

I don't know, sometimes all this stuff just seems a little too convenient!
