Faith in the inherent goodness of humanity......

....well, it is a thing to ponder. Lots of examples, sadly, quite in the other direction, no? Often based on religion, power, money, sex, we look at such. with disappointment. The Crusades, the NAZI's, Communism, the great war, the Pope's inquisition, gay men wantonly spreading HIV-AIDS to normal innocents, a certain political party keeping the KKK and Jim Crow going, not to mention lynching. Even African tribal chiefs rounding up their own war slaves to enable the filling of the plantation bound slave ships. Yes, pretty grim indeed. But we must not forget the other side of things, often occurring in times of turmoil and danger. So we see the English and German soldiers football fraternizing in no person's land at Christmas, early in the great war. How some villages self isolated during the Black death plague, apparently a great sacrifice. The concealment and rescue of Jews-and others, during the German Third Reich. Passing out food and warm clothes to US hobos near freight train camps during the great depression. Many more examples. So, there is a tendency for humans to rally in goodness during these difficult times. Does beg the question, with the current great powers at each other's throats, how will humanity react with a threat that makes any pandemic seem like a walk in the park. Try a 10 KM diameter asteroid honing in on us all. Less than ideal such cooperation to the claims of climate changes. But this is partly due to the documented liberal bias faking of science early on, and to the activists assuming near religious behaviors, quite closed mindedly, abetted by biases in media pundits and editors. It seems that we can all rally, but only under some circumstances. Rigid thinking often seems to be a major enemy.
