7. Unspeakable violence has been happening to people every day for thousands of years

People are assaulted, abused, and murdered horribly every single day in cities and towns all over the US and elsewhere in the world.

The difference now is that the media are putting it in our faces constantly. It's like an endless war that was always out there, but it's being hyped up like the nightly body counts on the news every night during the Vietnam War.

If you don't want it to be a normal part of your day, the only way is to start turning off the TV and staying away from news sites and blogs.
