The Day's Snooze

Would it not be wonderful to watch a news telecast and find no cataclysm had befallen anyone? Would it not be lovely to hear that no one had been slaughtered for practicing the faith their conscience dictated? Would it not be great not to hear reports that driving my car or firing up the backyard grill was not changing the climate to the detriment of all humanity? Would it not be a joy to hear the US government had no debt and was not constantly running up a larger deficit? Would it not be a blessing to hear that Greece was financially strong at that austerity measures were not going to be imposed on anyone? Would it not be spectacular if the only news was good news for once?
