when we trace the change in the media fr the 40s, 50s until now, we notice a corresponding increase in violence too.  media is getting bolder and bolder, old fashion values are no longer cherished - its a new fusion culture and all that c**p that is hyped by the media.  why shootouts in schools/ colleges - so many copycats -? - influence of the media.  tv violence is so obviously influencing our young ones and they imitate hoping to get away with it.  violence breeds violence.

of course hollywood denies this and quotes freedom of expression shldnt be curbed.  such irresponsible corporate view.  NRA too.  nothing wrong with the gun - something wrong with the person holding it.  so we still sell guns! and the capitalists always win for they have $$$ to influence congress etc.
