21357, dismantle the military? Posted by k_orr, Wed Sep-13-00 03:25 PM
That's a new slant, what's your basic idea?
Having a strong military in our country breeds violence in the streets/on tv? Or is it that image of the fighting man in uniform something that we aspire to?
But there is something different about America. Plenty of other countries live with our media and have little or no crime, and those w/o our propaganda have fighting in the streets.
Is there a correlation btw media images and violence/sex/consumerism? I would say yes. But have they perfected the technology so that they control you and all of your thoughts?
I think you could make a good argument for both sides.
