Violent video games. violent music, violent movies, et cetera, are

I think we are just a more violent culture although the rest of the
democracies are catching up. Maybe those games and movies are
affecting them too.


And maybe the games and movies have little or nothing to do with it.


At that point you have to start questioning the value of "educational
TV" too. Maybe Big Bird is a waste of money.


"Educational TV" is nothing more that a cheap baby-sitter.
