Crime in the United States has slowed since the nineties, but a disturbing trend is taking place as waves of violence are increasing across many American cities. Homicide is now five times higher in the U.S. than the international average.

Digg!

of america's homocidal behaviour in general; this was pointed out by moore in bowling for columbine...
the rate of murder within her borders is probably similar to the likeliness america has to comitting homocide abroad (us is 5x more likely to commit murder as a nation, than any other group of humans on the planet)...
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

it still blows my mind that we are 5 years deep into this 911 fuelled blood lust in Iraq with no end in sight.

Since the assassination of J.F.K., the British invasion, and L.B.J.,England, has regained control of the "NEW WORLD", with the politics of the old world!!! Divide and conquer, turn everyone, against everyone else, destroy the family, first and foremost, because you can't overthrow a country with a strong family unit!!! As L.B.J.s war against poverty, turned into Nixon's war against drugs,the middle class, got stronger, as the rich got richer, and the poor got poorer!!! BUT THERE JUST IS NO ROOM FOR A CLASS OF PEOPLE WITH MONEY, POWER AND INFLUENCE, that haven't been accredited, with the proper rank of nobility, brought to you through the universities!!! England's system only has two classes: royalty, and slaves!!! The universities, create the royals, the laws, and prisons, create the slaves!!! The war on "DRUGS", IS A WAR AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND HUMAN NATURE!!! MONEY, IS EVERYTHING IN AMERICA, AND TURF WARS, CREATE MONEY, for the elite, and the criminal alike, but if all of the factory jobs, weren't shipped out of the country, and discrimination, was not legal, and drugs were legal, these street wars would not be!!! The government created this problem, to conquer, through division!!! DO YOU "NOT-SEE"???
