@LightDestory Thank you for your great feedback.  I think one should always keep things in perspective with regard to the US.  First of all, it has 50 HUGE states - a few Europes can fit in the US - like imagine a "United" 50 States and Europe has a problem with managing its few countries. It has 328 million people. It has a media that are like vultures.  Every one in the rest of the world probably listens more to news from the US than from their own country.  They for example have long forgotten about South Africa.  Now if you want to check up on REAL violence, and killing sometimes for the pleasure of it, then it's happening there.  One can't move freely in South Africa.  But you don't read about all the atrocities in the rest of the world, maybe just a mention now and then. Like a home invasion that happens naturally everywhere in South Africa, and also in many countries of Africa, daily is no real news any longer. So I think one should always use a BS Filter for the News.  Most of the Media are owned by conglomerates who are feeding news to manipulate the masses - I don't trust any of the news that come my way.  I sometimes wonder even whether this Trump vs Media is all rehearsed to mislead every one else.
