Caped wonders with super powers have been created throughout history during times when people were in dire need of "heroes". They could fly or do a Houdini from the arch-rival's snare. But, these heroes stay on the comic book (or the silver screen). Hence, we in the real world face challenges ourselves--sans super powers. Whether it's families breaking apart or declining literacy in the country, it is we who answer the call from where we are, with what we have.

Looking up
Can't say much after that, except that there really is hope no matter how bleak things may look.
This other video clip (a TV commercial which was, by the way, rejected for airing during the last Superbowl) drives home that point yet again.
I must admit, the first time I saw this video, I was a bit confused as to the message it tried to convey. It made the US president look as if he advocated the recognition of human rights for the unborn! I hope he has seen the video. He of all people should realize that anybody can strive to be anything he wants if given the opportunity -- first of all, the opportunity to live and pursue his dreams.
Then here's a video I like for the positive and practical way it explained the elements surrounding an issue that was hotly debated on in some parts of the US a few months ago. No doubt, this same issue will need to be dealt with on our own shores in a year or two. Remember, when the US sneezes, practically the whole world catches a cold. Unfortunately, many unthinking Filipinos welcome anything that comes from the US with open arms and no filtering whatsoever.
