This April there
wasn't one day without a terrorist attack somewhere in the world. The vast majority of which were by Islamic fundies butchering for fun and profit. However if you goggle the map, we live in a great big quiet zone. As compared to places like Afghanistan and Iraq which are soaked in blood. Things can get a hell of a lot worse before the wheels fall off, so I would save the despair for later.
Looked at another way, the world is remarkably peaceful. Say your average Joe interacts with twenty people a day in some way. With seven billion people in the world that's 140 billion human contacts per day that work out just fine. Even if you roll in non-terror related crimes that's still a 99.9% success rate.
Looked at still another way, most of what you see has plenty of bullshit mixed in anyway. Look at Nigeria for example. The locals are blowing stuff up and killing people over the many spills that have trashed their native wetlands. But what you don't see highlighted is the fact that nearly every leak was caused by those same locals drilling holes in pipes and setting up amateur refineries using barrels and pipes, with waste draining straight into the rivers. It's mostly not about Shell's awful practices, it's organized crime. None of this is helped much by a massively corrupt and incompetent central government. Unfortunately there are large high quality oil deposits smack dab under those swamps, and it will be recovered eventually somehow. So the problem isnt going away any time soon. But it is mostly not caused by Evil Oil Inc.
