I'm not sure you're used to this, but I have a serious review.
I think you're absolutely correct and that our society is going down a path of violence that seems irreversable and unstable. This influence in children's lives has made a severe impact and the apathy towards the death of a schoolmate is alarming. I live in Colorado, and you'd be surprised by how may students don't even blink when I mention the shootings at Columbine High School.
It seems that the only way we can survive is to ignore the incident, I can see where your veiw came from. Rather sad, but it seems that there's nothing to be done.
