I am not all certain that video games and violent movies are without blame. We believe in advertising and rely on it, don't we?

Do you remember 'Dungeons and Dragons'? I don't know if it is still around, although I would guess that its graphics are mild compared with today's games.

More than 20 years ago I had a co-worker who spent hours in its bowels. We would see him practicing his moves, silent and absorbed in them.

Two years or so after that, he told a couple of friends of his how to get into his grandfather's apartment, that his grandfather had money stashed there.

The 'friends' shot and killed the old man. To this day I believe that my co-worker had lost contact with reality. This young man was Native Alaskan and allowing or causing harm to an elder was totally against his beliefs.
