Not everyone has the daily chance to make a dramatic gesture towards their government. But also not everyone will be angry with their children for bad reasons.

When you were in the zoo and saw the parent possibly acting wrong you also saw 1000 times as many people having fun and spending time with their family or friends (which are good/positive things), why do you decide to deride all of mankind when it is you who focuses on the negativity/extremes?

(I will leave the color thing for another time, when I have more time to debate)
YES. I think you do have a point. Maybe I just remember the bad stuff. It may be the things that is called to my intention. I think that at least is an interesting question. Are we better at remembering the wrongs (done to us and others) than the rights?

I personally believe so based very loosely on my friends and my own experience.

For an example: If you recall you childhood, what pops up? Happy memories of joy and fun or memories of lack, guilt and misunderstanding?

Edit: I don't deride mankind btw. I have great hopes in humanity.
