xterra3202 I hear you 100% It is funny how your outlook changes once you have kids. I have two girls my self and it is scary out there.
The whole system is screwed up there is no fear in the criminal element anymore.
OffroadX spot on with the media. Sometimes I swear if there is not a local shooting, murder, robbery, child molestation, or any other god awful act they find the closets city that has had a incident and use that in there own broadcast. I live in Phoenix Az and if there is no news here they will find a murder or mugging in New York to put in there headlines, like we care if it makes it into our news don't get me wrong I do care that something bad has happened. I do not even watch the news anymore I swear they are controlled by the govermen. Why do we only see the bad side of war? why not any of the good things we have done in the middle east.
I hate the media for contributing to this fear-mongering nearly as much as I hate those rare child molesters.
Could not of said it better.
