Reply #6: I remember I once had to pull my car over

And cry after hearing a news story on NPR. A nine-year-old Palestinian boy had been mortally wounded and was declared brain dead after a bullet shot by Israeli troops had ricocheted and hit him in the head. His father came on the news and declared that he wanted his son's organs to go to whatever child most needed them, regardless of religion "So that maybe some good can come of this".

Just about the time I'm ready to give up on humanity, someone does something like this to convince me that the species just might be worth saving.
