   it was normal to have whooping cough and Malaria too so what? So we assume   
   if your not a victim its not a problem? How can you suggest our national   
   obsession on crime is not a problem? 15,000 murders are not a problem? I   
   don't understand your reasoning. Because we had murders before we don't or   
   can't make inroads to crime now?  If 15,000, murders are not a problem why   
   worry about the murders by terrorists ? This is our problem and it would be   
   nice to have someone care about one of the victims or future victims of   
   crime.
