I listened to NWA, EZ-E, DJ Quick and all the rest of it. I watched Full Metal Jacket and Dirty Harry when I was a kid. That was all at a time when it was NOT the norm. We had reality to fall back on. Now things are much much different. What is reality these days? Well it seems to be relative.

I saw the world too. A LOT of it. And my wife is a stay at home mother also. It is not a statistical fact that every human being will turn out bad if they do the above. It is just a statistical fact that the society as a whole will degrade. Congratulations on holding it together, you are probably made of sterner stuff than most. But I still believe that in the big picture, culture-wise, all these things make us less human and more desensitized.
