I agree that the two major monsters are terrorists and sexual predators. Living in a society where rape percentages are very high especially among young women. This raises fear among everyone, these rapists terrorize families and young girls in fear of being raped and for those that have already been raped, their feeling of safety is taken away. I know what it feels like to constantly be afraid, and unable to trust those around you, living in the same neighborhood where rape and murder occur when its least expected, as well as robbery. The same neighborhood that Levi Aron, murdered Leiby Kletzky. After reading this, I agree with the explanation of the contemporary monsters and what is considered a monster today.

]]> Comment on Global Earthquake Trends 1900 – 2010 by joshua bigley http://modernfolktales.com/natural-disasters/global-earthquake-trends-1900-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-122 joshua bigley Sun, 08 Aug 2010 12:22:15 +0000 http://modernfolktales.com/?p=1008#comment-122 I am in Nanchang, Jianxgi province, China. i live in a 21 story apartment building of recent construction (2 years). I just experienced a pulse or tremor of some-kind that went up through the floor, thru my feet, and gut at about 19:36 Beijing time on Aug 8 2010 (and as i write this--checking the date i just got an eerie feeling as i believe the big Sichuan quake was on this date). It happened two or three days ago as well, only slightly smaller. I see Nanchang had a serious earthquake in 1927 with over 200,000 deaths. And I did some research and found that research shows magnetic pulses are traceable about two weeks before an earthquake. i wonder if that's what I felt. Should I be worried. The area I live in also has much clay. i wonder if the building is settling into the watery clay--it is a boggish area. I also read a research paper discussing the liquidification of clay during earthquake activity. i am concerned there will be an earthquake in or around nanchang soon.
