Now, understand, I am not saying that Lindy Bill is Stalin. Obviously he is not, and I very much doubt that he personally would carry out acts of brutality, murder or torture. But he is with great energy and persistence, in his own small way, creating a mind-set where less intelligent, more unhinged, and cruder people can do just that. Have you every noticed that many people who claim to abhor violence, seem to be fascinated by it. I call it the Tom Clancy Syndrome. His novels love to portray the bad guys as really bad. They do despicable acts against innocents. His heroes on the other hand are the good guys out there risking their lives to right the wrongs of the bad guys. But these heroes tend to do pretty bloody things to the bad guys, and the telling point is that Tom Clancy likes to describe what they do in pretty explicit detail. Of course the heroes don’t really enjoy this killing, they do it because someone has to for the world to be a safe place. But Tom’s readers do enjoy it. He knows very well what is target market is.
