- I don't completely understand, when you say America do you mean America or
- do you mean NYC or Berkeley? I agree with your "Opposite for America."
- My impression, since we are working with impressions, is that it is safe to
- leave your car on the streets, in America, but could be more dangerous to
- walk the streets.

- Back to the stories I hear (and you are probably getting impression that I
- hear too much), a lot of them are about these big guys, often some boxers,
- being beaten up. But then, those stories are also mafia related :-)

- Most people that have visited Israel say that it is very safe there. My
- girlfriend felt that one of the great things about Israel is that one does
- not have to worry about children playing somewhere from dawn to dusk.
