What we really have is a total breakdown of values in many area's of our society. We have broken homes, drugs, poverty, latch key kids, no guidance, no adults passing on traditional values. If a kid only knows that the answer to every problem in life is violence, then how can we expect to not see the school shootings. These are new events in this nation. Roll back to the 50's or early 60's and it didn't occur. What has changed? no parents who care, no adults anywhere who care, kids then seek what they need from other sources I.E. gangs. They learn to take what they need. No work ethic, no guidance, no God, no country believe in nothing, have nothing, escape using drugs and then you have what we are seeing today. I have no answers only can figure out the cause. If there were no market for drugs, we would not have this. Why do we have a market. It is escape .. when your life is so meaningless that the recourse is to escape. Hence the profits .. hence the violence
