i'm in my early 50s. as a girl, the biggest deal in the hood was when a woman was raped in our lobby. we NEVER heard of serial killers until richard speck seemed to start it all with his mass murder of nurses in chicago.
today, it is not abnormal that a young man, perhaps 40, will mutilate his ex wife or ex girlfriend via tying her up in a basement, smacking her on the head with a hammer, cutting her face and her chest, towards her heart, punching her in the face, and lighting a torch in order to burn her, just so that, per his jaded mind, he will "hurt" her the way "she" hurt him.
and that is not the worst example that we can come up with, is it? in the past 40 years in the united states, violence of all sorts has risen dramatically, serial rapes and killings and dismemberments are almost considered normal!
why do we allow this? where are our morals? where are our values? is it okay that just "anything" goes these days, as was allowed in the fall of Rome?
