Good article.

And he's right.

Cartoons in the late 70's were awful. Mostly an extended commercial for "Strawberry Shortcake" dolls or "Power Rangers"

( Of course, I like Sponge Bob. What do I know? LOL! )

I got all the violence fixes that I needed in the early '70s from Bugs Bunny cartoons. I loved seeing Daffy get his beak blown off...

But now, just try to find an unedited version of BB on TV anywhere, you won't.

"Speed Racer" was cool too, plus there were times that people actually died, usually the bad guys, for their actions.

I should say I don't think G.I. JOE was a bad cartoon, it was one of my favorite ones.

That and HE-MAN!

This looks like your kind of article disc. This paragraph is great----Male teenage aggression is a fact, not a problem. And that fact is an embarrassing reminder that sex differences don't permit us to choose everything about ourselves, or about our children. If the aggression of boys is scandalous, then it's easy to see why society is tempted to pretend that teachers and bureaucrats can bind the boyish heart with rules and restrictions. But if we accept that sex differences are something to be celebrated, not denied, then we can get back to the age-old task of taming - but not breaking - the male spirit. If the government wants to help this process, it could start by butting out. Raising men is a job for men, not bureaucrats.

Hmm. The argument, as I understand it, is that violent games and TV don't make the child more inclined to commit violent acts as it desensitizes them to killing. If they do get into a situation laden with potential violence, they are more likely to respond with lethal violence.

Perhaps this guy has a better grap on it:

Well, there may be something in it. I was brought up on Rocky and Bullwinkle and I've been addicted to double entendre and sarcasm ever since.
