Or maybe it is just the classic internet saga of being more aware of EXISTING situations than we were in the past.

From what I have heard, people think that many things in the States are MUCH worse than they were in the "Good Olde Days", but the reality is, even with the recession, thinks like Health, SOL and Crime are MUCH better now than they were "back then".

Difference being, someone gets raped or abducted 1000 miles away, you are aware of it shortly after the victims family due to electronic communication.

The world may seem better when you are only told about 10 of the 100 bad things that have happened in a week than all 20 of the 20 you now have.....
