‘Catcher in the Rye’ supposedly influenced a bunch of assassinations. There will always be misguided people who can be set off by just about anything.
You said: “‘Catcher in the Rye’ supposedly influenced a bunch of assassinations. There will always be misguided people who can be set off by just about anything.”
But I’m saying that as a society, mature adults have a responsibility to the next generation, to raise them as best they can and to try and insure “domestic tranquility”.
By “amusing ourselves to death”, by a large portion of a generation or two remaining perpetual teenagers needing to be shocked out of boredom, we have created a scenario that is going to be the end of this great experiment - America.
The flippant attitude is part of the problem.
