I guess it goes to show how many people are innately good or benign (not sure what word to use in English). The newsmedia would have you believe otherwise, and the average comments on such news perpetuate the belief, but if this were all true, how can we have all the luxuries we do? The healthcare and social aid programmes? It's not like there are no problems in the world, but clearly far more people are constructive than destructive

Perhaps this is too tangential but I guess it's front of mind since I just came from the HN thread about Panama papers where people were acting all unsurprised and like every wealthy person anywhere was evil and now got fully acquitted from any prosecution when neither is actually the case, as then a handful of comments pointed out (imo successfully, but you do have to read down the thread and not get caught up in cynicism)
