Speaking of the world’s most dangerous places, I found this interesting tidbit on Forbes.com:
Yup.
Here’s a list that doesn’t name South Africa at all, but the U.S. makes the list, with this description of our beloved country:
“As a quick convenience store run in the nite will reveal to anyone, this is a dangerous country. The people are heavily armed, & prone to random outbursts of violence. Not a good combination.”
Yup to that, too.
At the same time, I usually feel pretty safe. Or at least, I did, until I discovered the government Megan’s Law database of sexual predators, and discovered that there are two sexual predators living just down the street from me!
Steve sez…
Maybe you too should become “heavily armed”. Might help if one of those sexual predators comes around.
Alternatively, it could go very badly for me….
How many countries out there were not once European colonies?
Good point.
