->Sure, this may be only a movie, but consider this: The Running Man
->(1987) was about a fictional televised game show in the future. The show
->promoted direct physical violence and even death of human beings for
->sport and financial gain. Today's television includes programs like
->Survivor, The Amazing Race, Fear Factor, The Chair, and The Chamber. All
->of these shows are escalating what level of violence is acceptable to
->society.


*** lately I wonder how long until Mad Max...!?


->The internet has also, as a vehicle for large corporations, been able to
->mutate our favorite communications platform to their needs, claiming all
->the while that their actions and direction are in the interest of the
->consumer. Under that guise, big business has whittled at and begun to
->rub away the protections we have as private, American citizens. Making


*** It is even worse than that. It is not only private, American citizens
who are involved; You forgot Europe. I have seen a lot of what you are
mentioning happening in The Netherlands and Belgium...

Cheers,
Zoran.
