If you have any doubts that the culture here in the U.S. isn’t violent there are some things you should know about http://www.aap.org/advocacy/childhealthmonth/media.htm”> media violence and media literacy.

Yes, we need constitutionally friendly stricter gun-control laws and yes, we need to find constitutionally friendly ways to get all the blood, gore and torture out of our so-called http://www.medialit.org/reading_room/article15.html “>entertainment. Additionally, we need to find better, healthier ways to help parents and their children learn about anger management and non-violent problem solving. All of this is possible. One wonders how many awful incidents like Columbine or Virginia Tech must take place before we make them a real priority.
