I Think Most Of Us Become Nicer As We Get Older, Less Judgmental, Less Full Of Certitude; Life Tends To Knock A Few Corners Of Us As We Go Through. Cancer, Divorce, Teenagers, And Other Plagues Make Us Give Up On Expecting Ourselves - Or Life - To Be Perfect, Which Is A Real Relief.

We've Got The Emphasis On The Wrong Syllable When It Comes To Crime In This Country. The Fbi Says Burglary And Robbery Cost U.s. Taxpayers $3.8 Billion Annually.
