Also well said. The problem is that the only people who will actually follow that advice are the ones already doing so. The rest will nod their heads and then blame the other side for it, as always.

I understand what you're saying Steve, but there's still hope! Or at least, that's what I believe.
I can even summarize my previous post in one word: self-criticism. A lost art. As a matter of fact, here's the only commandment I live by: doubt yourself.

For every birther or conspiracy theorist in this land, there are dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people who line up to give blood, give money, give time, and in many cases, give their lives - throughout its history. For every criminal we heard about in New Orleans following Katrina, there are dozens or more untold stories of people coming together to help each other. The same is true in the stories emerging this week from the tornado-blasted South.
I blame the media

It's all about ratings, advertising revenue and selling newspapers. If they could make money telling all the 'untold' stories of countless people volunteering, giving blood and being good citizens they'd be doing it.

Ain't that the truth.

And it's shortsighted to exclusively blame the media: without the consumers (and the advertisers), the media product ceases to exist. So it's not exclusive;y the media's fault - we the consumers bear responsibility here, too.
