[extropy-chat] Murder rates up!!

[Brent Allsop]

Murder rates are up!  The end of the world is near!

 

Have you seen the headlines in all the papers about the FBI reports?

 

Oh, wait - if you read a little deeper - the murder rates have been
dramatically declining for over 5 years (it declined over 5% last year)
along with all other crime statistics.  And this year, only the murder rate
went up a bit - less than 2%!  All other rates are still in dramatic
decline.

 

So, why is it that everyone thinks things are so bad?
