I am not one of those people to say we are living in the worst of times because in actuality it's pretty much always been the worst of times, but then there's a King or a Gandhi or a Lennon. Or, sheesh, Jesus. <br /><br />Cubs: the only reason I can think of to live in Chicago.

Do we live in that kind of world today? I don't want to be cynical; I would love be someone who inspires that kind of generosity, who is that kind of generous, but I don't think I am at all, that most of us are.
