29. I think my ending thought is the need to find our heart. turn toward one another.

Embrace the differences with respect, but remember we are all Americans and that we live in one part of the globe called earth. Our corporations and extreme wealth of some are ruining things at a record pace, and while we fight among ourselves about lies, conspiracies, and the regular liberal/ conservative ragging on one another, we are ignoring the true evil that is perversing our Democratic Republic. Can we really say that we have real representatives that work for the people. We have a few, and it took some hard work to overcome the money and the power that those with corporate war chests have.

I have hope that we can overcome this. I have hope that people are continuing to wake up to the perversion of the corruption. I have hope that we can fix the problems. I still have hope, even with all the horrific news and all of the negative vibes of these difficult times, I have hope. And if people have hope, we can do and inspire and lift others to hope and act in favor of this grand experiment called the United States of America that has had its challenges of living up to the ideal over the reality that each generation has experienced.

Yes, its much easier for national media that's basically based in New York to make it to Boston or Sandy Hook to report on this news of the Marathon Bombing. However, it would be nice if the news channels took a break and reported on other items going on today. There is only so much that they can find out at one time. They really should pull back. Stop making wild speculations. And wait for some official news from the police agencies. This "Breaking News" has been on since early morning around 2 AM. I went home, fell asleep after night shift, woke up, and its still on. There is other news. Taking a break would alleviate some of the nervous energy the media is causing by non-stop reporting of every tiny little bit of anything. I would rather wait to hear real, factual reports about the case, rather than the insipid spewing of speculation and nit picking of the news media and pundits. There has been so much that the news has gotten wrong. CNN nearly caused a riot outside of a Federal Court House. The New York Post identified the wrong people in a picture and caused a poor teen to fear for his life and feel he needed to stay home from school and go to the police to say he was not the bomber. AND last night, CNN was featuring a picture of some naked man being put into the back of a police vehicle. Does anyone know what that was about, who that was, why was the man naked? I don't understand that at all. Was that ever figured out why a naked man was surrounded by a ton of police who told him to strip? Who was the man on the st on the ground that MSNBC kept showing? Was that a suspect? Was that one of the dead men? I don't understand what has happened with the original items that they kept talking about or showing and then all of a sudden, received actual official police reporting, and then those pictures and "stories" changed. Shoot, even the names of the people who were "suspect" changed names in a flurry. I just don't get it. AND how is it now, this many people cannot find one boy in a small, completely surrounded area? I'm so lost on all the reporting, mis-reporting, hightened "breaking news" alert, and pure speculation that is occurring all day long.
