I come not to bury 60 Minutes, but to praise it

I don't watch it as often as I used to but last Sunday I recorded it on a whim. Some good stuff. First piece had returned serviceman from Afg and Iraq helping police and citizens in Springfield, MA get on top of out of control gang activity. I'm not always a big booster of all things military but I have to tip my hat to these guys.

Second bit was about the Africa Mercy, a hospital ship providing treatment for people in dire need of it. Some cases of severe facial deformity from tumors were shown as were a good number of people who had been blind for years from cataracts. They were dancing with joy at being able to see again.

I dunno, the old saw about 'why is the news always bad news' came to mind.
