Closed books, closed minds

Unfortunately, to the kind of people who ban books, shutting out unapproved ideas sounds like a really good ... well, idea.

I do know that most homicides by whatever means are committed by people the victim knows. Relatives and partners (including former partners) are much, much more dangerous than random criminal punks. Domestic violence calls are the most dangerous ones for police, as well. On the average, you are more likely to be assaulted, injured, even killed by a partner or former partner than to be a victim of a street crime.

Yup, true. And it's a pretty sad commentary, in a lot of ways.
