                                Brutality. 
                                ---------- 
 
        What is one of the most accepted things in this country?  Hint, look 
at the title.  Brutality.  It is there everytime we hit the remote to start  
up the TV, it covers the papers front to back, and it pervades the music that 
we listen to.  America has come to accept brutality as a kind of "white noise" 
in the background of our lives.   
        Turn on the TV sometime.  I gaurentee that at some point while you 
watch, you will see a murder, a fight, or something alluding to violence of  
some type.  The average child sees something like 15,000 murders on TV before 
he reaches adolescence. By that time, no one can see death for the horror that 
it holds, because it is just another episode of some show.  Even the news on  
the major networks gives more time to violence and destruction than to people 
helping each other or something other than death or pain.  If someone is shot, 
and he is comforted in his dying moments by a passerby who tries to help just 
out of the goodness of his heart guess who gets more air time?  Right, either  
the shooting victim, or the guys who shot him.  It doesn't matter that someone  
cared enough about a complete stranger to try to help him, all that matters is 
that someone was killed violently.  There is an old news motto that goes like 
this "If it bleeds, it leads".  That seems to indicate something about our  
society as a whole. 
        Newspapers aren't safe either.  Same thing applies there.  Good decent 
people on the back page, blood and death and the things that kept our primitive 
ancestors awake at night on the front.  Magazines?  Hah, compare how many deal 
with how to be a productive member of society, or how to help people, and then 
see how many are built around guns, horror movies, death, and pain.  A lot less 
deal with the good side of humanity.  The print media has fallen to the ghouls 
that we all are inside. 
        Check out music.  Look at the bands and singers that make the money and 
hit the big time.  Heavy Metal has been analysed to death, so I'll skip over  
that.  Look at Country and Western music.  That has a long tradtion of death 
and violence that everyone seems to overlook.  Garth Brooks chart buster  
"The Thunder Rolls", was about wife abuse and a wife killing her husband who 
was about to start hitting their daughter.   
        Everyone has a little of these demons inside, but hey, this is going 
overboard.  Brutality is now a common way of life, and an accepted fact of the 
world in general, and I think that that says a lot about who we are as a  
species.  I guess the evolutionists are right.  That ape in the closet of your 
"evolved" mind is just a little closer to the doorknob than anyone likes to  
think. 
        So try not to let the ape out so often.  Avoid some of that mass  
produced, violent mind-candy that they have on TV.  If you don't, someone  
should beat the shit out of you.
