It's hard to accept the hypocrisy of a society continuously blaming drugs and violence in the media for it's troubled youth, while at the same time prescribing drugs which are nothing more than an easy cover-up for their true problems.     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] THE COLUMBINE MASSACRE In a message dated 5/15/02 6:03:37 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The heavy preoccupation with death and the lack of value for human life propagated by the societal groups that make up the industrial and shock rock segments of the entertainment industry coupled with the preoccupation of many of the fans contained in this societal segment with violent video games can produce an outcome consistent with the behavior exhibited by the suspects. Oh what utter bullshit. Blame music and video games huh? What a total copout. MILLIONS of kids play these games and listen to that music to no ill effect, the fact that these 2 did and then committed a violent act is either a coincidence or  these two kids were mentally unable to seperate fantasy from reality which would indicate mental illness and/or drug usage. Censorship is not now nor is it ever the answer. Bill.
