Mick - I disagree when you say that America is not a violent culture. Other countries may have the means to create and produce violent computer games, etc., but nowhere is it so readily available to so many children. Didn't the video game arise from computerized military scenarios?

I remember a communist who admired the ability of the U.S. to brainwash its citizens so thoroughly with television. In Russia, he said, we have t.v. but we haven't figured out a way to get one into every home.
