  When I turn off the news and just get outside and in the company of strangers, I get a much more uplifted view of humanity. 

I agree though it's a bit of sticking your head in the sand, no? There person is smart, people ... (per men in black). That's why it's always refreshing to talk to a person or two, but easy to be horrified when you look at what people are doing.
