GZ, no criticism from me. I agree with you!!
Too many of our children are not taught the difference between right and wrong. It becomes even more difficult when Hollywood glorifies violence without consequence and encourages disrespect.

From todays paper, 2 girls ages 5 & 6 killed a 3 yr old boy by suffocating him. The grandmother called it rough-housing that got out of hand. They admitted to trying to hold his head down in a mud puddle, when he escaped they chased him knocked him to the ground. While the 5 year old held his legs, the 6 year old held a pillow over his face and sat on it until he stopped moving. During interviews with law enforcement investigators the girls made statements very clearly indicating that they intended to kill this little boy. How does a family deal with that? How does society deal with it? Rhetorical questions. Please don't waste thread time with a discussion of this and please forgive my ranting. I was VERY affected by this story and share it only to demonstrate the degradation of morality.
