Telecommunications...
The world has always been mostly a brutal mess. In realistic terms civilization is "kinder and gentler" today than it has ever been. Obama got that right.

Today's big difference is the speed and immediacy of telecommunications. Instead of reading an inaccurate account in a newspaper of something that happened in Baltimore a month ago...some passerby uploads a video of the actual event 10 minutes ago.

Makes it all seem worse. Every wretched event is amplified. People love to gawk at carnage, so they flock to it.

There are some bad things taking shape. Possibly very bad. But Tony...try to refrain from wanting them to be worse. Please....

Tony...go to Youtube and search for "Husky videos." They are hysterical and will lift your outlook.
