What's with America and Violence?


Why do we as American's glorify violence? We slow down on freeways to look at accidents and watch the  evening news just to count the fatalities and if we even read news papers anymore we'd collect the clippings and set up scrap books and portfolios all depicting death. I recently had the opportunity to watch the lastest in the Saw film series (Saw VII or Saw 3D, whichever you choose to call it) and I realized that that movie was almost 2 hours of horrific death and death. Did I enjoy it? No I didn't enjoy one minute of it, it was just one grotesque brutality after another. Where have our American sensibilities gone? Once upon a time we we shocked and outraged by deaths and murders and now we collect them like stamps and trading cards.

Sidenote

First off before I get down to my postings, I would like to point out that I have a few to post, I'm finally going to get down to part 2 of a post I previously started, I'm going to write one on how I feel the current state of music has devolved into pure garbage, and another on America's obsession with violence, in a  general perspective. Please bare with me as I have been procrastinating with my blog but I am back and plan to have at least 28 posts done by the end of this month.

Well here goes nothing...
