Individuals can be good, but I think right now man as a whole is bad. It might change in the years to come, but if you watch more than 30 seconds of the news each day, it doesn't look like it.

BAD..... now monkies on the other hand, man i wish i was one

Wrong: you're taking the worst examples (on tv) of a given population (humans) as being indicative of the whole. Never forget that news channels are there to make *money*. They make money by showing you what they think the avarage human wants to see - death and destruction (preferable somewhere else). This grabs and holds the attention, preventing channel-surfing and allowing various ads to be seen (=money for the network).

since news gathering started it's always been about things that are bad.
