A very Taoist situation: bright future and dark future seem to advance in balance with one another.
Are we getting further away from Utopia everyday? (Like we could even agree on what Utopia would be.) I suspect that our crime is increasing in line with our global population (consumers/victums), and it would be interesting to know if there is a recent study to validate or invalidate this hunch.It appears that crime is doing as well as it ever has done, and knows how to find it's own silver lining with every major shift in human events and technology.
