[QUOTE="witzend, post: 506804, member: 99"] I was watching or listening to some program years ago, and they were quoting time statistics. Now, bearing in mind that statistics take the [I]broad [/I]view of things, the report that they were making was that 1 in 10 people you meet on the street in the US will have killed someone.:faint: Now, bear in mind, this is the [I]average[/I] and probably not so for [I]everywhere[/I] you go. But, when they calculated in accidents, homicides, manslaughter, self-defense, etc., they may have gotten a short sentence (or a long one) and gotten out of jail already, not been caught, declined to prosecute... there are any number of reasons that you might meet a killer. Probably more likely downtown at night than in your cozy neighborhood, but still. ACK! I can't even let myself think that. It's probably true, but still, it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
