The Best and Worst Of Our Future

My 17 yr old nephew yesterday recued a brother and sister around the ages of 7 who got caught in a rip current. He was surfing at Va Beach when he noticed the two kids struggeling in the water pulling each other under. He paddled over to them and had them get up on his surfboard and allowed the rip current to take them out. After it had stopped pulling them out he started back in as a lifeguard came to help. They got the two kids back to shore and he left before the parents had a chance to thank him. Scarry thing is the parents had no clue anything was wrong and this went on for around 5 minutes

parents are just getting better and better as the years go by or my awareness of bad parenting is getting higher and higher as the years go by - either way, not looking good for the children of tomorrow

Best of, sadly not part of our future:

U.S. officials clarify administration description of two heroes in Libya attack (http://www.washingtonguardian.com/revising-libya-story)

The two former SEALS, Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen Doherty, 42, were not employed by the State Department diplomatic security office and instead were what is known as personal service contractors who had other duties related to security, the officials said.

They stepped into action, however, when Stevens became separated from the small security detail normally assigned to protect him when he traveled from the more fortified embassy in Tripoli to Benghazi, the officials said.

Child's Slip Implicates Parents Who Sold Neighbor's Dog on Craigslist - Yahoo! (http://gma.yahoo.com/childs-slip-implicates-parents-sold-neighbors-dog-craigslist-173251849--abc-news-topstories.html)

Good job kid

I read that, but why is a Sherriff getting involved to begin with, and why would he talk to a 5yr old without the child's parents present. Seems like a very odd story.
