No, Ron. I do NOT blame the media alone. I think that there is no one single cause -- if there were it would be easily fixed. This is a problem that runs deep and wide, and includes our leaders' prediliction for violence as a solution, the use of children as weapons of war and crime, adult greed, Gene Autry shooting the gun out of the bad guy's hand, John Wayne in "The Green Berets," spousal abuse, child abuse, feelings of helplessness and despair...and perhaps something, I don't know what, wired into our brains.

This is a perfect example of what I've learned over the years: there is rarely or never one cause or one simple cure, no matter how much we'd like there to be.
