Thanks for the welcome. This latest rash of abductions sure has us spooked. You made a good point, however. It's possible that such news did not necessarily reach everyone in the past.

This latest rash of abductions sure has us spooked.

There is no rash of abductions. There is a rash of media coverage. There were a hundred million girls not abducted yesterday. The media is not a true window to the world. It is a tabloid manipulator of people's emotions. And if you don't think emotions are being manipulated, look through these threads.
