What's wrong with the world we live in today?

In today's news, I read three main types of headlines: murder, disaster, and iPhone.

Murder: We've got news from the Pickton trial about a witness seeing a dead body hanging in the barn, 24-year old Steinke killing his 13-year old girlfriend's family in Medicine Hat, Alta., a double-murder suicide in Toronto, and a double-murder involving WWE Canadian wrestling star Chris Benoit in Atlanta.

Disaster: Heavy rains in Britain kills 3, tornadoes sweep through Manitoba, and a tropical cyclone that kills 10 in Pakistan. Add that to the TV program that was talking about the 1995 and 2003 heat waves in Chicago and Europe respectively that took 50+ thousand lives.

iPhone: Since last week (and maybe earlier), Google News seems to continuously collect new reports on the Apple iPhone. Talking about whether or not it'll succeed and the implications on technology and stocks.

Is there any GOOD news to look forward to anymore?

To make things more fvcked up, I just MSNed with my highschool friend. His little bachelor suite off West 12th was broken into... while he was sleeping! He woke up to realize there was someone in his room. My friend pretended to sleep until the intruder left. The guy came through the window and out the door, taking some DVDs and his wallet. Fortunately, the wallet (which had no money) was found in the alley, and more importantly, my friend is fine - just a little shaken up.
