Innocence of Youth

Just thinking outloud.

I haven't been paying much attention to local MSM non-Katrina stuff lately. On my sidebar there is a summary of headlines, from Channel 13 an ABC affiliate. I noticed all grouped together these 4 articles:

Woman charged with choking child by forcing food down throat
Baby in stroller critically wounded by knife-wielding attacker
Son of astronaut pleads guilty to child porn charge
Woman who allowed baby to starve to death sentenced to prison

Is it coincidence, or are our morals all going to hell. Perhaps the MSM is just reporting these stories more. None of these stories are getting much attention. We are all focused on Katrina, and its aftermath. These stories, I guess, are small potatoes. Still when we talk of human failures and responsibilities. Where are the human failures at there worst? These stories, or in the Katrina fallout? In the Katrina story we can put some blame on the forces of nature of which mankind has no control.
