TV Study, School(?) Violence revisited

New study shows that more TV=less sucessful in school.
Boy is that earth-shattering news! Who would have guessed?
Come on people, how many more useless studies do we need to do? It amazes me that vast sums of money are spent on useless studies. Did anyone think that if you watch a ton of TV, that you would even be remotely more successful in school?
I wish those who give free money to do studies actually looked at what was being studied. Maybe, just maybe, we did not need to waste money on the TV study. Gee, ya think?

School violence, revisited. The shooting of students yesterday was not a school violence issue. It is a society issue. We have brought up at least the past 2 generations on principles that give zero guidance in the name of tolerance. We can't say no to our children's movies, TV, music, sex lives, without being called old-fashioned and not in step. Then we wonder why some grow up and do whatever they want. Are we expecting to be able to tell them right from wrong when as a society we have called people who believe in right and wrong intolerant? Well my friends, there is a right and there is a wrong. Period. And the sooner we go back and teach our children such thoughts, the better. What you do DOES matter. The way you live DOES matter. The things you believe in DO matter. Your personal choices DO matter. Your actions DO matter. Responsibility has become almost a 4-letter word.
