Same here. I live really close to D.C. though, so if it gets bombed or anything, i'll suffer the consequences anyway.

Part of that stems from the economic hardship created by the recession of 2001 and how it increased the poverty rate by an awfully large amount for a rather minor recession. With increased poverty comes increased crime and that has been proven many times over history. It has also been proven that in increasingly violent times around the world people tend to get more violent and when people are scared they tend to do more violent things as well. |

Highly emotion human = human doing stupid things. I mean, violence may be a way to vent some kind of emotion - fear, anger, frustration, hatred, etc. So when people do these things, I think they're not really thinking about the consequences...they just want to feel better. Or maybe that's me... |
