Evil empires collapse. Then, we feared the bomb and communists. Now, despite conscientious objector Clinton leading our cavalry, we fear each other. Strangers do in strangers. Husbands blow away wives.
Parents chill kids.
But maybe it's not as bad as we think. Let's look at what's been going on lately. Neighbor Jesse Timmendequas rapes, smothers and disposes of the girl who lived across the street. Nice, doting husband Craig Rabinowitz is alleged to have strangled his wife, dragged her upstairs and deposited her in the tub. Many things, no doubt, but one major thought was probably that no one would notice the tell-tale signs of murder, or, if they did, they wouldn't suspect him.
