Nine out of ten Murdered Dentists....

OK, so this is an interesting tidbit I heard on the news, more than once. It's that 90% of murder victims are killed by someone they know. I was aware at the time I heard this, of an inner voice saying, "oh, then I'm fine. Because no one I know would kill me." But if you give it just a moment's reflection, I think you can see how that statistic teaches the exact opposite lesson.

It's probably easier to look at your friends and acquaintances and tell who is least likely to kill you. The babies. The old and infirm. These are your real friends.

Food for thought. Merry Christmas.
