...that give me hope (1 thing)

Just one thing to share today, but I think it's something really beautiful. It's easy when following the news to become depressed or cynical... to believe that everyone's either selling something or being duped by the pitch... to believe you have severely underestimated the general stupidity and cruelty and selfishness of the masses. So here's something I offer to you when you're feeling down and need to have your faith in humanity restored.

KivaVision.

Enjoy -- and don't say I never gave you anything.
