Contrary to today's norms, when I got involved in some trouble and the cops or the school told my parents, it was my fault and mine alone. In one of the initial interviews out of Colorado, one of the schoolkids characterized the two shooters as the victims in the affair, forced into the act by an uncaring society. While each and every one of us has an opinion on what is wrong and how it should be remedied, most folks I know would agree that it might be wise to look at the entertainment business in general and Hollywood in particular. Too much of their fare is not fit for adults, let alone kids. Up until 1966, the Motion Picture Code mirrored society's outlook toward morality and ethics, reading in part like a manual for right and proper living.
Wrong entertainment lowers the whole living condition and moral ideals of a race.
Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation. If motion pictures consistently hold up for admiration high types of characters and present stories that will affect lives for the better, they can become the most powerful natural force for the improvement of mankind. For the past thirty years we have fed our youth a diet of immorality and violence.
