(3) Last week, Dr. Ellen Cortez mentioned in an article in this paper that the world is becoming less and less violent. Hogwash! Every day you turn on the news you see examples of violence – everybody knows that violence is increasing (except the doctor, apparently)! In fact, just last week I heard about an incident in which a man was stabbed on the street and he just laid there for 30 minutes and no one did anything! We as a society are becoming less and less caring all the time. In my day, people weren’t violent – that’s because I’m from a different generation where we were spanked if we did anything wrong – we learned quickly not to be violent! People are born with a propensity for violence – we need to be able to identify violent people and then keep an eye on them. Obviously, this doctor’s studies are flawed. These professors are always trying to pull the wool over the public’s eyes – they are obviously promoting their own personal agenda! -Anthony Marlowe
