I suspect that I've got some tendency towards "glass half full"-- I tend to notice the good stuff.

Also, LW being better on the issue than the mainstream doesn't mean that LW is consistently good, just that it isn't resoundingly awful.

This update from CFAR is a good example on LW of supporting skillful means rather than just blaming people who aren't doing well.
