   Maybe I'm living in a fool's paradise but I'm not going to lie   
   and say I'm suddenly feeling less secure because of these   
   murders. I just don't feel the sense of impending doom the   
   way you do. But there's this: I *don't* watch TV very often   
   and I never watch TV news anymore. I believe those things   
   influence people's attitudes enormously usually in a negative way.

   Some people obviously are!   
      
   PLEASE explain, then, why there is a lot of real estate investment   
   going on on Fairmount Ave.(in Fairmount), as one example, where   
   previously as little as 5 year ago there was virtually none. I'm   
   blown away by it to be frank with you.

   mcs, I promise you that I will go around today, unhampered,   
   by any criminals.

   Only to you and in your mind!
