oh surely we have topped that!!! The 10-year average homicide rates (1987-1996) for Canada averaged 2.3 and for the United States averaged 8.8.

That includes occupations that require associations with dangerous people, such as taxi-driving, liquor store work and police work, but it also includes country & city of residence. Other adages would be, "Don’t be the guardian of valuables, even if those valuables are your own" and "stay sober". http://www.benbest.com/lifeext/murder.html

It seems that according to our leader, I along with the majority of Americans, just don’t understand what is going on in the world. I especially don’t understand what is going on in Iraq; and upon today’s speech by the president, I don’t understand him nor his administrations stance on torture and how to conduct even a fabricated war with dignity. As he reminded us today: "You can ask this question all you want, but the bottom line is – and the American people have got to understand this – that this program won’t go forward if there’s vague standards applied like those in Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention. It’s just not going to go forward." http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l152/metalcelt/200px-Abu_Ghraib_53.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l152/metalcelt/200px-AbuGhraibAbuse… http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l152/metalcelt/3falluja.jpg When I mull it over, there really is a lot I don’t understand… There is a lot I don’t understand about your thinking and actions Mr. Bush. Now that I’ve thought about it, I hope I never do.
