Man is violent. Always has been, always will be. It's just that every random incident is over-reported and over-analyzed in an effort to fead the beast of 24-hour "news" coverage and to keep us all living in fear. A country that fears for its safety is one that will sacrifice its freedoms for a false sense of safety.

I agree 100%, and actually I would feel a lot less safe if I lived in England during the dark ages. Every idiot had a sword, noblemen killed whenever they felt like it and took what they wanted, and war was still a constant threat.
