Looking back at our childhood, how many of us have played cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers, or even got a water gun as a child from our parents, but how many of us have gone on a killing spree because of it?

So what does this teach our children? That adults like to push their political views on them, and that maybe there is something to this Fast and Furious; it’s actually profitable to become an arms dealer, because more kids are hurt and killed on bicycles than those that play with plastic guns.
yes indeed.. If all the children hear during their developmental year is twisted perceptions from their parents and those who mentor them, what other logical result could one expect from a product cultivated on and fertilized with warp thinking?
