#2 Exposure to violent television programs and movies definitely have zero impact on Far Eastern societies. Hong Kong and Japanese broadcast TV show far more violent material than is available on American TV *or* movie screens. And yet their murder and other violent crime rates are a fraction of ours. And it's not a matter of the examples set by characters in these programs or movies either - Asian TV programs or movies are far more ambiguous about who the good guy is than American shows, which tend to side with law enforcement personnel.

#3 If a culture aims for the gutter, it will end up in the gutter. The babyboomers should congratulate themselves for producing a bunch of moral idiots (immoral idiots is probably a better choice of words). Can't men see what this is doing to women, children and families? Or are they just so selfish they are willing to ignore it? The communists couldn't have done a better job with providing a way for western civilization to slide the iron yoke on.

#4 Baby boomer kids are turning out way better than their parents. Mine are literate, sober, kind to animals and excellent fishermen.

#5 But it's a really really grand theory - it MUST be right! Who cares what happens in the so-called real world? From my lofty esteemed position, high above the teeming masses, theory is sacrosanct - as it should be! Along with my coterie of well-heeled sycophants I recently witnessed a Bergman epic at the Arthouse that proved it! Truth enshrined! Uplifting and fulfilling, it lay waste to the barbaric icons of crude and nekulturny Americana. Everyone at the Dean's cocktail party agreed it was simply splendid!

Scoff if you must as it only makes my point: You're Peasants!
