howdy all,

in my earlier post on our fear of crime and the ways in which we avoid
dealing with real crime, i posed a few questions for consideration. 
curiously, most weren't addressed, and those who were most critical of my
post addressed nothing at all in the post.  thank you to those who are
actually willing to engage in disourse.

here then is an invitation for those  on the list who are a bit shy
to join the discussion.  how do we as a nation deal with a fear of crime
that is at least as debilitating as the fact of crime without ignoring the
real problems of living in one of the most brutal industrialized nations
on the earth?
