    ... and, in a better vein, my mother thought I was better looking than Tom Hanks...

    And there would be some kid still alive if the video game "Grand Theft Auto 3" never hit the shelves. Of course, I played a lot of "Mortal Kombat" when I was a teenager and I managed to never try to rip somebody's spine out.

    We are too quick to blame media of all types and too slow to blame the individual.

    Indeed. Crazy violent idiots will typically find their justification without some video game or novel. Scapegoats abound.

    Would America be a better place without Glen Beck? Yes.


    ...IF Americans decide to stop listening to him and his show goes off the air for lack of funding. (...which I sincerely hope happens ...but realize it won't.)

    Seriously, it would be cool to go back in time and wipe out Gingrich, Delay and Rove. Those three set the stage for Fox news of hard nosed and strategic misinformation campaigns. I look forward to an America that realizes compromise and the pursuit of truth are actually positive attributes.

    There is a positive to the exposure given to the lunatic fringe, it scares the centrist out of their apathy.

    I'd say the opposite is true, in that the crazies make rational people cynical and disinterested. :(

    Nice try with the hyperbole. Are you kidding me?
