Didn't you listen to the song? People always seem to forget the problems of the past and complain that the current problems are way worse than anything which has ever happened before. In the United States in 1960 there were 5.1 murders per 100,000 people. In 2007 there were 5.6 per 100,000 people. People killing others is nothing new.

What this is turning into to.... YouTube - We Didn't Start the Flame War
