Do you think the world is more volient now?

I don't think the world is more violent, we are just hearing about the violence more with instant communication. We hear about everything all the time. We hear about things that happen across the country as if they happened across the town square, the news delivered with the same sort of gut kick delivery, and we feel we are in a hell of violence. * A child killing is a gut kick, no matter if it happens in your town or across the country. In the past, we didn't hear about the killing across the country. Our perception is different today I think, but I think it can cause a desensitization, something we should guard against.
