You may be right, Mystic, but I haven't seen any real "miracles" in my
lifetime...

Saul

you really are raising a question that is almost unanswerable. None of the "things" we would do would produce anything other than further pain and negativity...with almost no chance of a good outcome, short of a miracle.

Strange how the crimes seem to group regionally, huh, scoop? I was just
mentioning to my fiance about the idea I have of the desperate loneliness great spaces must give someone, how depressing it must be to live in a rural area where the vista seems endless and you are in the middle of it.  I wonder how many midwestern kids feel that way?

Saul this is a very sad story
I haven't done any studies but in the northeast like here in NY we have a lot of one on one murders. In the south it seems there are a lot of kidnapings and crimes against children. The mid-west has mulitple murders and the west coast gets the sensational murders like Manson, Simpson, Peterson, the Hill Side Strangler. Just weird I guess.

It is a strange social phenomena, Ariala. Couple this with all the teen
bloodletting and suicides and I'd say we have a virtual epidemic on our hands.  Very disquieting.  The desensitizing of our children to the moral and ethical ramifications and consequences of their actions is breeding a social construct known as "wilding" in our culture -- sociopathy in effect.
