Introduction: World is Dangerous Place

The world is a  frightening place.  But you already knew that; you read it in  the paper, hear about it from friends, see it  with your own eyes every time you turn on  the TV to watch bad singers or dancers  subject themselves to abuse from judges  with no more talent than the contestants, or  see a web video of a teenager shooting a  bottle rocket from his ass for amusement,  or get plowed from behind in your car by  another driver who was texting “LMAO” to  his friends instead of noticing that the light  had turned red and you had stopped.
