They are lured away from higher education by the mantra of easy money. They are deeply suspicious of politicians and unengaged by democracy. We are not transmitting the values that will give our children the resilience and resourcefulness that the 21st century is going to require of them. Censorship is no use. In fact, it is a really bad idea, for more than the constitutional reasons.
Ugly media are to the culture what pain is to the individual.
They are a warning signal that something is wrong and needs attention. Your hand is on the stove, your body has been invaded by microbes, your kid is experiencing profound cynicism and powerlessness. Passing a censorship law is trivial. Passing a gun-control law is trivial. Making healthy lives for our children is not trivial.
