Actually, it is rather amusing to hear people complain about crime in
New York City when it is 10th in the United States in violent crime.

Admittedly, it is still too high, but New York City is not the location
of as high a murder rate as, say, Miami.

Do you realize that you have a greater chance of being killed by a handgun
in the United States than you do of being killed by terrorism in Northern
Ireland?

She dreams of 1969
					Before the soldiers came
When life was cheap on bread and wine
					And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
					Of rockets fired from nearby
Yet still she wakes into a dream
					To beat the fear that she might die.
