Subject: RE: Violence is the American Way?
Violence isn't an American problem...

It's a problem of people who value immediate personal gain over morality, law, brotherhood, and long term security. Primitive or immature people, in other words. Such people are found in all societies. It is notable, though, that such behaviour is constantly glorified in American culture through TV, movies, vidoegames, and so on. Immaturity sells bigtime! And as the child is bent, so grows the adult.
