What you are exposed too, becomes reinforced into your pattern of thought. A dangerous thing for anybody, of any age group. I couldnt quote the exact number, but a study was done that said by the time a child has reached puberty, he/she has seen an enormous amount of violent imagery on the TV. The more they see, the more the adults see. De-sensitizing the society as a whole. Again, it's a two way street. The liberals want it to be shown, the conservatives will say, give 'em what they want, it's a great money maker, the rest of us just watch. The end result may be, and probably is more prevalent in the inner city. But in the relatively small, but rapidly growing, bedroom community I live in, juvenile crime has been steadily growing into more "adult" crime. A trend I have watched since I got here almost 14 years ago. Not trying to be sarcastic either, but the genie is already out of the bottle, I think it might be time to moderate it with a little more conservatism. Will a conservative president change this, probably not right away, but it's a step in the right direction(IMHO). Always want to hear why I might be in error. Ultimatly, more involvement from parents/guardians is called for, but they are "infected" by the flickering box as well, and on it goes........Moderation is the key. There's no way to vacinate for the liberal thought process

I don't follow the reasoning, but whatever. I'm curious what you think a "conservative" president will do to deter crime. And conservative in what sense?
