There are two kinds of days: slow news days, and tragedies. Which do you prefer? It gets worse, or it stays the same.

    That’s rather pessimistic but I’m not in a state of mind to have a rebuttal

    A school gets shot up, or it doesn't. Another genocide starts, or it doesn't. A telescope collapses, or it doesn't. It gets worse, or it stays the same. Not once in all my life has the evening news been like "This just in: A clean, abundant and inexpensive source of energy has been found which is leading to millions of hungry people being fed. We now go on location to ABC correspondent Tish Yu for the details."
