| A Great Egret came to visit |
Looking for good news was a struggle and much harder than i thought it would be; i know that good news doesn't sell but the pursuit left me feeling so thwarted that i’m going to make up my own past year of positives, interspersed with the few i could find.
All the good news must be on the last pages at the end of thousands of bad news events in Google search. See if you can determine which ones are true and which are false.
First off, scientists have discovered that the oil will never run out and there is no need to plan for a world without it.
The Chilean Miners were rescued…WhooHaaaaa
Coal is clean, never again will it darken your hands, or dirty your air.
Global warming, who made up that name? Scientists have declared that all those unusual weather events happening all over the world are a figment of your imagination, more hurricanes, rain, snow, wind and mudslides are good for the environment and won’t damage the world as we know it.
Unemployment plummeted, jobs are a dime a dozen.
The San Francisco Giants won the World Series...Yee Haaaaa
Liberals and Conservatives have agreed to compromise.
We are safe. Fighting the terrorists over there has made us completely safe and worry free. Rejoice.
The BP oil spill has done wonders for the environment. Fish populations are increasing, birds are thriving and oil in your diet will improve your health.
Wetlands and beaches along the Gulf coast are enjoying the nutrients from the oil and dispersant's; making your time there that much better, tourism is booming.

All those believing Muslims are terrorists are granfalloons and proud of it. Its Us versus Them and don’t you forget it.
Reducing property taxes won’t, i repeat won’t affect schools, emergency services, or police response times.
We are proud to be turned into a third world country, we are doing the world a favor by off shoring jobs, ignoring climate change, reducing taxes, and failing to invest in ourselves.
Ignoring haters and fear mongers makes you healthy, wealthy and wise.
START treaty ratified.
Are you happy now that you have read the list of positives we enjoyed in 2010?
Sharing good news with others increases the perceived value of those events, especially when others respond enthusiastically, and that enthusiastic responses to shared good news promote the development of trust and a prosocial orientation toward the other. Studies have found consistent support for these effects across both interactions with strangers and in everyday close relationships.
