that is the kinda stuff the media masters want to deluge us with, feel good stuff about the inherent goodness of the American people. Positive, uplifting stuff.

Used to be this kinda thing wrapped up the local news, watch for more and more on national news, along with the infomercials that pass for consumer news coverage

Let me add, really nice thing that merits a mention, and there still are many good people.
