Knowledge is Power

You know when you see or hear something you wish you hadn't?
I just experienced this when I had the sudden urge to look up the convicted sex offenders around my college. I googled and was terrified.
I used Family Watchdog, but I'm sure any website like this will do the trick to keep you indoors forever.

There are 56 registered sex offenders in less than a mile from school. Whoa. That is A LOT.
I knew going to this school that the surrounding area was crime ridden. I didn't have hard facts but now I do.

So what does that mean for me and you, reader? It means you might want to look up you address because it's good to have the information. Do with it what you will but at least you will have it.
For me, I will have such a false sense of security on campus late at night. I will be more aware when I walk and get where I'm going in the dark quickly.

Hope I didn't scare you too much before bed! Goodnight!
