I believe I might have found the right chiropractor for me. So easy going and not pushing me to come back for a series of adjustments, unlike the other dude. This one was just sent me off with his card and a recommendation to call him if I don't feel better. There was a lot of cracking going on, but in a way that wasn't as disturbing as previous adjustments. I'm hopeful this is the guy to help me feel better. 

I'm reading The Better Angels of Our Nature: The Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes, but at some point (lets say 200 pages in) I want to tell Steven Pinker yes, yes, I believe you, stop it with the stats, only to then realize that most of the book is stats. Who are these people that believe human beings, on average, are in more danger to suffer from violent acts now than in the not so distant past? I don't even have to look that far back in my own family history. The good old days were anything but.
