News is suppose to report the unusual, the uncommon , the rarities of life. What does it mean for us not as a country but as humans, when news only reports the good things. Has violence become so widespread and common it is no longer worthy of reporting? Just in the last decade more and more of the front page is dedicated to "good things" Blood bath? Try blood drive! Somebody ran over a child? Bottom of the page...maybe a footnote. Are we so jaded to no longer care to read about the atrocities that occur around us!
Not to complain about people wanting to read about the "good things"but we should never stop reading about the bad things. Not to know about violence is the same as inducing violence. Despite that popular saying ignorance is not bliss. To not know 60 percent of children under 6 went hungry this year is not going to help fix this problem!Not knowing that gunshots are so common in major cities that your next door neighbor is dieing of a gunshot wound in your living room and you not noticing is not going to fix the problem!
Should we only report bad then? No way! We need to know someone is trying to change the world. Someone still cares that violence should not be so common!We will always need a candle in the dark that is always certain. Please people demand more violence be shown in our news! Do NOT let it be so common to be left out!

Frost had just recited one of his poems and somebody asked:
"Mr. Frost can you explain that?"
He replied:
"What you want? Me to repeat it over and over in worse English?"
