Yes, I am like you - 99% are good and that 1% evil is really much less than that. I have a whole video series about this on You Tube already and I think I will make a post about it soon.
I think the powers that be just try to trick us to make us think "others" are bad. I'm in Malaysia now, and I am the "other." People are so nice to me here it is a real treat and blessing. The same in all the SE Asian countries I have visited.
One thing I have noticed in my own life is that the "bad" people stick out like sore thumbs. I think this is because there are so few of them.
