The rise in white supremacist violence including anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic violence is very very worrisome.  Murders doubled in 2017 vs 2016, very bad.

The radicalization of our politics generally is a worrisome trend, with extremist elements committing more violence and murders.

Well said.  Historically, humanity has recently enjoyed an extraordinarily peaceful existence worldwide; I'm not sure that's still true.   I am also concerned that it is going to get significantly worse before it gets better.  One would think that the ability to easily access information would promote thoughtful and honest discussion, but it seems not - instead, partisanship is followed by extremism and eventually violence.   

Hopefully I'm just feeling a more pessimistic than usual today and it's really just business as usual.
