Half the stuff that gets reported as news qualifies either as gossip or police blotter...either way, there is very little that really stands out as NEWS...bonafide news...so, if we are gonna have a system that reports gossip and acts like a police blotter, I'm happy to have a happy story every now and then...reminds us to be humble, to be thankful, and to look for good....it does exist.

Was he passed out or simply sleeping? Do you really know or did you just make an assumption? What, if any, kind of conversation did you have with this gentleman who was in need? What additional responsibility is the food bank operator supposed to take in our society? I mean, above and beyond making sure that hungry people are fed? I just don't get what you are trying to accomplish by opposing something that is serving the community.

I believe that Hazel Wolf is a role model for us all and the authors of "Breakthrough" have the right idea...all these ills that we want to address have their roots in poverty. We must reach out to those who are struggling, hungry, homeless and helpless. If we reach out to them, we will find the answers to all our other problems. This, for me, is the first and single most important area where we need to put our love, energy and money. It might take a while, but we will get there.

That's the spirit of Christmas...forget all the rhetoric about who 'owns' this season...this guy embodies the spirit of Christmas! Thank you, whoever you are!

No matter where violence occurs, no matter what reason - our first thoughts should always be for healing.

Democracy is not about majority vote, even though that's how we practice it. A good book for you to read would be "First Democracy" by Paul Woodruff.

Holy crap people are so mean and stupid...

If you teach him to fish, he will feed himself for a lifetime. So, while building someone a house is an admirable feat, it should be followed up with financial counseling and family counseling to insure that the gift lasts as long as it is intended. Habitat for Humanity is a more stable and ideal way of helping people who have a hard time getting on their feet. Extreme Makeover, I'm sure, is not hurting for money. It is television, after all...an industry that doesn't lack for funding.
