A Great Example of the Source of the Problem (Score 2)

What is staggering to me is how anyone could be this far off! The quote I give you here is an example which is nothing short of outright bigotry. Which is what's causing all the pain and agony to begin with! We need to break the cycle. We don't need greater enforcement of uniformity in our society and we certainly don't need it in our schools. Instead, we all need to learn tolerance. Especially people like the author of this quote! (posted on CNN.com, and I might add as the *first* opinion of several)

"To all Decent Americans,

The students, and their associates, that were involved in the shootings in Littleton, Colorado were members of an anti-culture clique... you know the type: Disillusioned, disaffected, jaded, neo-gothic types, that relish the role of being the "outsiders". By their own admission, they were influenced by the death-rock of Marilyn Manson and the violence and hype of Hollywood.

Our community (Littleton) is asking the whole country not to allow their children, or their families access to this kind of music and boycott all television and radio stations that glamorize death and violence. We are also asking all not to patronize video, retail, businesses, magazines, and all other forms of media that peddle this poison. If the words of peace are falling on deaf ears, then we would like Hollywood to listen to our pocketbooks. It is time for the media to take responsibility for their actions and stop hiding behind the First Amendment.
