Tim, (etal) I think they have little to do with this. Note that even with the greater availability of guns we have more non-gun murders then most other countries. An observation. American society deplores nudity and sexual acts on the television, but green lights violence with little regard for the impact. As much as I hate to say "blame the media", I really have to blame the media for the problems in the US at the moment. School shootings are becoming more and more likely after each consecutive incident. Why?.. Well I think one reason is the incredible amount of coverage they get on news casts, etc. Kids mimic what they see around them (I have 2, I know).. If all they see are students shooting other students I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure things out. I'm not suggesting cencorship or the v-chip. I deplore both. However, some forethought when creating programs for public consumption could go a long way. Why is it, that they only way anything is resolved on TV anymore is with a gun? Regards, Steve
