Clearly, the real problem here is the nationwide media. It's the single common denominator and should be eliminated as the root cause of all problems! But seriously, it is my belief that (assuming the human race lasts long enough) future generations will look back on the 20th century and realize that television is, in fact, the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction ever created by man. Although it has amazing power to inform and educate, it has been used primarily as a tool to instill fear, erode family values and create false expectations. But that’s just my opinion.
