Of course they're horrible and depressing, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't know about it, because having a better understanding of the world allows for much better perspectives on our own lives and the issues that we're facing.

Well, you must have at least some knowledge of the news if you're aware that terrorist attacks and tax hikes have been topics of discussion.
