Ever get tired of bad news about the country on public broadcasts and cynical comments on blog sites? Do you wish you could just read some good news for a change? Well, try a site called www.sagoodnews.co.za
S.A Good News focuses on the positive. They focus on what they consider to be positive achievements and on things people actually do to make a positive difference instead of just griping.
Not that we can afford to bury our heads in the sand, of course. That would be highly dangerous here. (With your head in the sand, you're likely to get your pockets picked. Not to mention leaving your backside exposed. Bad idea here. And you wouldn't be able to identify your assailant - not that I'm convinced it would make too much difference if you could.)
Being aware of the problems is necessary. In fact, it's vital. Social comment is vital and constructive. A sense of humour in this country is necessary. Moaning doesn't change a thing, except to create a web of negativity. In order to escape the negative environment that only breeds more negativity, one needs to push oneself into a positive attitude. Perhaps we should take more notice of those forums and people who do their bit to promote a positive environment and identify with them.
Frankly, I find it difficult.
I still think that Leon Schuster should get a political party established - fast. Pity he wasn't in place already to reap the benefits of the current floor-crossing!

SAVE THE SCORPIONS: WE NEED YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT
How can you help?
1.Send an email with the words: "Scorpions Yes" to scorpions@savare.co.za
or
2.Fax the same to 0880218521388
or
3.Sms the same to 35052.
Our company decided to help Mr Glenister to stop the disbanding of the scorpions. Two of us have been selected to give all our attention to the Hugh Glenister case and work 8 hours a day only doing this. An sms cost R5,00 and we donate 38% of this towards Mr Glenister's legal fees and all the other admin, printing, paper, service provider fees, our salaries etc is paid by our company. Thus costing Mr Glenister nothing. We do it purely because we believe it is our ethical and moral responsibility as a company. Mr Glenister is in the process of opening a bank account where people can donate sums of money to assist him, but for the man in the street a mere sms (once-off, no weekly subscription nonsence) is affordable and for a good cause.
thank you for your support.
Adie
