Subject: another topic- news and capitalism
In reply to: GF 's message, "Violins on the radio" on 07:01:49 11/29/99 Mon

As for violence training being a good thing... that is a good point. There is enough evidence that when faced with survival, we do things we are unaware we are capable of. I just read an article about how a woman got out of a car-jacking situation. I hope I can think of half the things she thought of if I am ever car-jacked. And AM- I agree.. the things on the nightly news are not necessarily all that better for kids to be watching. I think the interactive nature of the games is what interests me in particular. News is a whole other topic that I would LOVE to talk about. In the end, I think I just realize how brain-trained people can become... Tonight I heard someone from another (European) country call capitalism "inhumane". THERE's another topic I did not get to respond to. Any thoughts?
Thanks for putting up with my stream of consciousness... Max
