• Los medios de comunicación se dedican a encontrar excepciones en la vida cotidiana. Las cosas malas siguen siendo la excepción. Eso es bueno, porque una vez que las cosas malas dejan de ser noticia, realmente estamos en problemas. Si la gente olvida que lo malo es la excepción, creerá que vive en un mundo horrible. Hay tantas cosas que funcionan y son correctas, amables y cálidas. Pero lo damos por sentado.
