Interesting read and I believe it to be true.

I'd also like to everyone to reckon this epiphany I've had...

The next time you ask yourself how come all you hear in the news is about rapes, murders, abductions and other outrageous crimes...It's BECAUSE of the news and local, regional, even global coverage we have access to these days.

I'm sure most of that trash went on, say, in the 1920's and 1930's BUT news did not travel as quickly then. It was mostly done by word of mouth, by the old men whittling wood on a park bench. There were no phones and televisions readily accessible, if even available, back then.

Of course we could argue that concentration of people was nowhere near what it is now, but I think the availability and coverage of news now is the reason why we all think this world is turning upside down.

I have been using that argument for years, however as I get older I believe things are getting a little worse than just 20 years ago.

I agree we are getting more idiots in our presence each generation that goes by. It's got a lot to do with people not gettin' their asses whipped when they were kids and our justice system slappin' 'em on the rest when they grow up.

There's definitely the argument of more densely populated cities and a larger populus overall. That alone means more violence and crime.

I still think for the old timers saying "What's this world coming to" it's just a matter of watching too much crap on TV IMHO. You can't watch the news AT ALL without mention of some wacko going on a shooting spree... and usually it's 3,000 miles away from where you live and rarely affects any of us viewers' lives...aside from the fact that it's makin' us paranoid as hell!
