"Virtually all independent scholars agree that there is evidence that television can cause aggressive behavior. "--The American Psychological Associations report to congress 1988.
Although 72 % of Americans polled by Times Mirror say that we have too much violence on TV and it leads to higher crime rates, many of them must be tuning in, or the television moguls wouldn't be scheduling such airfare. Maybe its time to face the fact that we have all this mayhem in our art and our lives because we like violence. Or if we don't actually like it, we need it." Robert Scheer
