Going nowhere slow, we rock Philadelphia, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Indianapolis...

Found these lists on CNN.com not too long ago:

Most dangerous cities are:
1 - Camden, New Jersey
2 - Detroit, Michigan
3 - St. Louis, Missouri
4 - Flint, Michigan
5 - Richmond, Virginia
6 - Baltimore, Maryland
7 - Atlanta, Georgia
8 - New Orleans, Louisiana
9 - Gary, Indiana
10- Birmingham, Alabama

Safest cities are:
1 - Newton, Massachusetts
2 - Clarkstown, New York
3 - Amhearst, New York
4 - Mission Viejo, California
5 - Brick Township, New Jersey
6 - Troy, Michigan
7 - Thousand Oaks, California
8 - Round Rock, Texas
9 - Lake Forest, California
10 - Cary, North Carolina

I don't know what the criteria was for the determination of these, but I found something interesting. Of the most dangerous cities, 6 of the 10 are located in red states, of the safest, only 2 are located in red states.

Irony anyone?

One would think with all those Compassionate Conservatives, and Evangelical Christians running around in red states, they'd be much, much safer than in the liberal heathen blue states? Just imagine, New York, DC, Philly, LA, none of them reached the top ten, yet Birmingham did? And Gary Indiana makes it, but Chicago doesn't?

I wonder, does "Intelligent Design" explain any of this?

It's not what I want to be, like a-a fireman or a president of the United States, it's what I am. I've always been, I mean. I don't not want it but it's not like I made some kind of choice. Like I didn't decide to have blond hair. - Billy Connors, The Boys On The Rock
