Between the Philadelphia "doctor," the Boston attack in which an eight-year-old child was among those killed, and the recent
revelation that a former Stuyvesant librarian (with an
interesting history) may have been mixed up with the so-called "cannibal cop," this is hell-in-a-handbasket time. It's too much horrible to process. Hoping for justice all around.

ReplyDeleteBeware the false end-times perception created by isolated ugly pictures and isolated creepy news stories amplified by the echo chamber.
You're far more likely to be hit by lightning than to be a victim of terrorism, malpracticing abortion doctors, and fantasizing wannabe cannibals combined.
If you want some horrible to give your free-floating anxiety some room to roam, focus on the evil/incompetence of those running the economies of the advanced world, and the seeming overall inability of the species to live in harmony with the resources of the Earth. That's the real ugly stuff.
