Hollywood has taught us that. We also know this
because history has taught us this. But when
people take into account and acknowledge history's
teachings, most fail to also consider history's
hypocrisy. Every day, all through our lives we
become softened and comforted with drugs, fed
gradually and continuously by our trusted media.
We are overwhelmed by the goodness of our rulers.
Wherever there is evil, it is always won over by
the forces of good. ...

drama. Whereas a tragedy in life may be considered

Wrestling Matches Human Nature Violence

Violence is a growing problem that affects
everyone. It has become worse over the last
decade, and I believe that the cause of this is a

today. I believe that one reason this increase is
occurring is because people have grown accustomed
to it being a form of entertainment and people are
generally more likely to watch something involving
