Why Don’t I Feel "Bucked Up"?


Let’s Look for some Good News
Ok, so we agree that we should look for some good news to “buck us up”. Where to look? Hmmmm. We could look at politics where Tea Partiers are doing pretty well in primaries. That is good news for somebody. And a multimillionaire Doctor (spent $38 million of his own money) under a cloud of suspicion for being involved (CEO) in a company that did some Medicare fraud won the Republican primary in Florida for Governor. That is good news for somebody. And, microbes are eating the undersea oil plumes. That must be good news for somebody. And the Feds are printing money to shore up the economy. That must be good news for somebody. And a Federal Judge stopped embryonic stem cell research to save all those potential babies (that would be defrosted and thrown away anyway) from helping cure disease. Thats just gotta be good news for somebody. And the USDA is getting on top of the biggest Salmonella outbreak ever, after dealing with deadly outbreaks of other disease-causing organisms for the past few years. That must be good news for somebody. And the floods in Pakistan are subsiding in the North but getting worse in the South. That must be good news for somebody. And there are 3 storms in the Atlantic right now, one hurricane, one tropical storm and one tropical depression. That must be good news for someone. (Maybe the “global warmers?) Wild caught fish have more PCBs, Mercury and BPAs than ever before. Is that good news for somebody?
Gee. There is good news all over the place.


So why don’t I feel “bucked up”?
