Your thread opened my eyes to looking at the world from a different perspective. We are bombarded with a lot of negativity on a daily basis. Here on ATS alone we have a lot of pessimistic views and doom and gloom threads. We're almost being brainwashed without even realizing it.

Are you slow?
Fifty years ago I possibly couldn't even look at a white woman because i'm black.

Life is better now.
Only time life would be better in the past is if you're a white person.

That stuff is not addressed by happy people – the kind of change that has to happen in a situation like this comes about because people are outraged and fed up

Did you know Bush will declare martial law?
Or that swine flu will wipe out civilization?
Or that 2012 will be the end?
Or that Obama will lead our country into Communism?
The negative mindset will continually come up with new predictions of doom, most of which are complete falsehoods. I could show you many thousand on this site alone.
