Every generation looks at the next one and says we are screwed. Whether it was women voting, rock n roll, or facebook, some point and blame.
in many ways we are better off than ever. The good old days included polio, smallpox and no antibiotics.
there have always been mentally ill folks and bizarre behavior. What we as a nation need to do is treat mental illness as the health issue it is. The therapist of the colorado shooter was concerned, so he called the shooters mother. Wtf? Better he could have called a hospital and had the guy admitted.
in louisiana, they just watered down a measure that would have prevented people with stalking records and domestic violence from getting a gun. Again, wtf?
This guy seemed a nut, who was fed a lot of hate from god knows where. It was a lethal combination.

So your saying that all the violence we see on T.V, movies and games now have nothing at all to do with being a contributor? I am not trying to compare if we are "better" now, by the medicine, because of course we are especially with the diagnosis/medication available for people with mental illness'. I am simply stating from a MORAL perspective that society today is more at risk safety wise than say in the 50's and 60's.
