Will Smith is a fine actor. I enjoyed his movies.
My question is this; With so much greatness that is supposed to be in all of us, why does it seem as though the world is spiraling out of control?
Will Smith feels good about himself, and for good reason. He's on top of the world.
But six million children died of starvation, malnutrition, and disease last year world wide. All of it preventable. Where's the greatness?
Like the young fella I met on the street today, conned me out of five bucks for a bus ticket home. I knew he was conning me, but I gave him the money anyway. His hope for the future is dim. Just another casualty. I let him get away.

I guess with nothing left to lose, they figure they might as well lose large.

Why the negativity Freaky? I'm trying to make a positive statement in the face of great odds.
