Yes! Go see The Terminal! Everyone! It was just heartwarming.
And it does my soul well to know that people can still be entertained with the absence of boobs, swearing, blood, guts and .... does that about cover it?
I think we get anesthicised (sic) because we see it everywhere, in the middle of football games, basketball games, commercials, movies, cartoons - there's so much sexual innuendo every where we turn.

I spoke to a woman today who has been a volunteer for probably 40 years, either at the hospital or with this other non-profit group. She said (in the course of her interview) that as a young woman it was just expected that she would spend a certain amount of time as a volunteer for worthy causes. Then as a student at Stanford, they were encouraged and challenged to 'go forth and make a difference' in the world.

Her comment... and this all really does tie in I think... was that very few young women accept volunteer work any more unless it's going to be something that can go down on a resume and give them an "in" to a future position.

So my point is this - all of these little things that seemingly don't matter... they pile up and chip away at our moral fiber.

Was that too much?
