Re: OT: Insightful (re: Amish shooting)
Back to the general topic of violence, well I don't think it's much more, if at all, more prevalent today than it was 200 or 1000 years ago. After all, back a century ago, people lived in much smaller population centers, and mass media wasn't nearly as prevalent as it is today. So you might not have even heard of a school shooting a couple thousand miles away, or a murder on the other side of the country. With the media as it is today, and the population of the world as large as it is, it's inevitable that you'll hear about more crime than your grandfather did. However, it doesn't mean crime is more prevalent, per capita.
