| The US senate is ordering an investigation into violent films, games and
music and their impact on children. Also Federal Trade and Justice will
determine if these 'viloent' products are intentionally marketed towards
children. In related news, the senate decided against tightening gun laws
of which would reduce the chance of massacres like in Littleton (case and
point = Germany/Japan). Now in the US it is still as easy for a minor or
ex-con to get a gun as it ever was (Scratch USA of my places to visit list),
no wonder Hollywood would rather make a film in Australia or Canada (price
and safety). IMHO the right to bare arms is an act of war. The Hollywood
industries merely reflect the USA's violent and blood thirsty gun toting
way of life. Tighten gun laws and you may loose the use and representation
of them in films. |
