Good News I have Not found in the N.Y.Times or CBS
1. The violent-free election in Afghanistan is an amazing event considering the state of affairs in that country a short two years ago.
2. Peaceful revolution in Ukraine will send shockwaves around the world for freedom seekers. Not everyone in the world has access to unfettered news so they will not hear about the momentous events there. In fact, busloads of democratic loving people from Kiev are deploying to the hinterlands to inform their countrymen who have been kept in the dark by the Russian supported apparatchik (power structure).
3. A hero for the world's atheists, Antony Flew, a British philosophy professor, has apparently become a deist, to the dismay of his disciples. Flew released a video in which he said that, based on scientific evidence, he has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first cause must have created the universe.
4. The federal government (CDC) just announced new data on teen pregnancy/sex. Teens are delaying sex longer, more are practicing abstinence, and the rest are using contraception more consistently if they do engage in sexual activity. "Of those teens who have not had sex, the primary reason for their decision was
that it was “against religion or morals.”
5. Women and people of color have more positive role models in the Bush administration than any other American government in my memory. Where can we find a better example of diversity?
6. Nutella, the breakfast of champions and warriors, turns 40 years old! This chocolate/hazelnut spread, this exquisite marriage of gustable delights was invented in Italy and my first taste was when we were stationed in Germany in the mid 80's. Last evening my supper dessert was ginger snaps dipped in Nutella and chased with gulps of vanilla yogurt...it don't get any better than that (and no, I was not stoned).
