Not really sure if our society grows sicker or that the web and communications allow us a better glimpse of how we really are?

Great question.

Being old enough to now reflect on "The Good Old Days" never thought I would ever use that phrase.

Raised before Cable TV, the Internet and liberal moral relativity....when there was only one village idiot per village...and all the kids knew who he was.

Now we have a GLOBAL village - and we are in serious trouble.

It's been going on since the dawn of time. There are more people now so the incidence of these crimes are higher. Also, the media reports on any sensational event from every podunk town in the world.
