@ jobob. I feel exactly the same. People haven't changed. It's just that the media is so advanced that the world has become a very small place. If a 100 years ago something happened in Chicago, people in L.A. would never have known about it.

Problem is that if something happens in the world (like Dutroux) other crazy people get inspired by that (like the two incidents in Austria where girls were locked up in basements for years and years).
