All the little miracles and good stuff that happens just happens without note, because it&#8217;s so much the norm. All the places where things aren&#8217;t bad don&#8217;t get mentioned. I read a <a href=\"http:\/\/commonsense.ourfuture.org\/fox_time_fight_back\">thing<\/a> a few weeks ago where the writer&#8217;s grandmother was scared to leave the house because of all the bad guys out there.
