Hard times …

 A Brutal American Epic by Charles Simic | NYR Daily | The New York Review of Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The crimes and vices of other countries are surely as bad, but is the violence among their citizenry as prevalent and as lethal, their brutality and sadism so commonplace, their acts of injustice as frequent as ours?
Well, when it comes to murder at least, the U.S. doesn't make the Top 25.
