www.news-herald.com/articles/2009/12/24/news/nh1862560.txtI heard this on NPR a few days ago and thought I'd post it. Nice to post good news and put things in perspective; as far as the whole " bad/violent/nasty things are getting worse as society collapses " thing goes the predominates most people 's(mine included usually) mindsets.

Good to hear.
It's like I was telling my Grandmother last month, there probably has ALWAYS been the same amount of crazy/evil crap happening all over the world, it's just now we're more likely to hear about it due to improvements in technology and increased News coverage

Any cursory glance at history shows us that things aren't any worse now. Like you said though....it's just more immediate. |

Modern society's not really any more worse then the other times people look back on with rose colored glasses. Its like the Rodney King riots, racists pointed to it as "proof" that black people were so bad or evil, and others pointed to it as "proof" of how far society has fallen. That stuffs been going on, back and forth for hundreds of years. Its just at that time, it was documented on camera. Its not a perfect world and it never will be, but its stupid to look at the past and act like it was any better... |

Is it really declining? Or is the fact that many cities in the nation have had to layoff police officers resulted in less crimes being discovered? No crimes just tragic accidents...  |

If the crime rate continues to fall, how are we ever going to get a Kira to call our own?

Or, less crimes being reported because of a small, but growing anti-police officer. NONE OF IT! It's because of the goddamn Bat-Man Fixed ;D Hehe. God love ya, Frank Miller. That just never gets old! |
