The murder rate is half of what it was in 1980. Crime across the board has been falling for years.

Censorship of any sort, be it voluntary or involuntary, is often used for nefarious purposes. IMHO, free expression is the greatest method we have to promote and protect a free society. What's the first thing any tyrant does? Censor the various forms of media to make sure that only approved messages get out to the people.
In short, I don't buy any notion that over all things are worse today, when in fact many aspects of life are demonstrably better than they used to be.
One other thing - don't believe what certain media outlets that are pushing a very specific political/social agenda tell you about certain groups. A bit of research might prove reality to be a far cry from what their spinmeisters sell during their prime-time shoutfests.
