    Default Faith in humanity

    Sometimes it's hard to have any faith in humanity. Between wars, politics and crime, I often have a hard time believing that people can be anything other than the animals we are. In the wake of an absolutly heinous crime in the area I live, a small bright spot has appeared that, even though a horrible crime was committed, reaffirmed some sense of faith in my fellow man. Here is the story from the local paper:

    To me, this man was a true hero in every sense of the word and I can only hope that others would act in the same way in similar situations.

    I hope it is never necessary but I pray if need be I am that kind of man.

    WOW. That was a wonderful thing to do. It took a strong man to pull that one off.

    I hope he comes through it OK. That's gonna a rough thing to remember.

    I watched a woman burn to death one night in a wreck. We couldn't get to her to help.

    That one still haunts me and that was nearly 30 years ago.

    God Bless that man and give him strength.
