He made some excellent points. It is not that we shouldn't try to make our world a better place, but once and awhile we need to stop and realize how good we have it compared to many parts of the world or to just a generation or two ago in this country. It is a matter of putting things in perspective now and then, lest one comes across as a whiner with little concept of world events or world events. Take a pause and acknowledge how far we've come and then make plans to move forward and build on that.
