There's no virtue and no benefit in working ourselves up into unrealistic despair by some fools rushing to act out and venal media sensationalizing it.

We have to keep what's happening in perspective and remember that when it comes to news, "if it bleeds it leads." People behaving responsibly is not news when it's the norm.
