Amazingly this trend of allowing homocide, sucide, and genecide to be used as an emotional outlet has plagued our society all to often in recent years; the issue lies within the psyche of modern day man. Why do we believe death and mayhem to be or ticket out? Has our society regressed to our primal stages of problem solving, or have we just allowed ourselves to become accustom to the belief that any kind of hardship is life telling us to give up?
