Cyrano,

Your facts go along with what I was saying.....my generation (the children of the 50's) became parents & had our children in the 70's. Some of us that became parents believed that we shouldn't shove our values, morals, or anything else that we thought was shoved down our throats onto our children as I said in my previous post. Those are the children of the 80's when the violent actions peaked. Gee, it definitely seems there is a correlation. I am sure that there are many other issues that are part of the violent picture.....it is never just one thing that goes into problems that huge, but I believe that our lack of moral values we didn't want to corrupt our children with was definitely at least part of the problem.
