    People litter.
    Clean it up.

    I've come to the conclusion that there are two types of people in this world -- those who focus on problems, and those who focus on solutions. Thankfully, I'm in the latter group. I promise you that when you focus on the solution you're going to feel a lot better than when you focus only on the problem. That's why we volunteer to build Habitat homes. That's why we work with a Mennonite group to feed and care for victims of natural disasters. That's why we adopt families at Christmastime.

    By the way, the satellite image is not real.

    See the good. Focus on the solution. Lead by your example.
    • Take a walk in the sunrise.
    • Adopt a dog from the shelter.
    • Volunteer with a group that cleans up litter.
    • Stop in your local rest home just to chat with the residents.
    • Start an herb garden (indoors, this time of year).
    • Tell a stranger how much you like her earrings.
    • Pay for the groceries of the young mother ahead of you in line.
    • Bake cookies for first responders and thank them for what they do.
    There is so much good in this world and so much you can do to make it better.

    Why only focus on the bad?
    Knock off your damned psy-op. @Dr. Who is one of the most beautiful positive and compassionate and level headed posters in our forum. She brings kindness and beauty where ever she is. You are looking at a persons best attributes and telling them, they are the opposite of that, to try and get under their skin. It's pathetic just so you know. You don't erase a persons years of posting history with your bull$#@! posts. Get real!

    A positive person can also have a beautiful heart that sees the wrongs in society and works to change them. That is a much more beautiful heart than someone who is totally self absorbed ignoring the suffering of others. You keep trying to tell everyone you are better than them. It doesn't make you look better, just so you know.

    Nothing that you say could ever make Dr. Who look bad. In fact trying to do so, to someone so well respected and loved, just makes you look bad. I guess this is what you call being a positive person, LoL.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    If you are, indeed, "not a liberal"; and you do "dislike [George] Soros"; then I apologize for misjudging your views in these two regards.

    But are you really for the greening of America (as, for instance, AOC is also)?

    The America you claim to love so much was founded largely by rugged merchants and tax dodgers who profited immensely from their business dealings. Your Leninist ranting against commerce and economic freedom is some of the most anti-American BS I've ever heard. You don't sound like Thomas Jefferson or John Hancock, you sound like Karl Marx.

    There is not now, and never has been, a commonly used and accepted definition of "American" principles and ideals. Since its emergence, American society has been characterized by deep divisions along numerous fault lines. Every faction, whether major or minor, always lays claim to the true understanding and representation of America while accusing the other side of betraying basic principles. Probably the only principle upon which all Americans agree is that of accusing your opponent of hating America.

    We have alternatives for the creation of energy, that have far less harmful effects on our environment. We don't need to use the ways that cause our lands and air and waters to be polluted, the worst. We can do better. We need not sacrifice quality to do so.

    We are on the cusp of walking full speed into the future that we have been held back from since the tesla days. The days of holding back the world are coming to an end. We are going to surpass and evolve our old ways. It is already happening all around the world. The old giants are in their death throws. They will evolve or perish.
    I previously apologized for labeling you a liberal, if you are not one (as you claim).

    But if the above quote is really not the work of a liberal...well then, I must not know just what liberalism stands for...

    Are you sure that this is not just post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning (which, of course, is a logical fallacy)?
