Are there more crazies today?

I used to think that there are no more crazy folks today than in the past but the media make them more visible. Now I'm beginning to wonder. In the past week, a mom buried her kid alive and another mom threw her two kids over a bridge into the cold river below. I sure don't remember much of that a few decades ago.

Or maybe this is negative karma to balance, in a zero-sum universe, the incredible positive karma of the return of the Atlantis astronauts after repairing the Hubble telescope, an extraordinary achievement.

Between the modern Medeas and the guys who respond to losing their jobs by killing their families and themselves, it's been quite a season for imbalanced behaviors.
