patrick, regarding tv violence, my neices have never been desensitized
to violence, having never seen it, in any form. when they were visiting
i brought out a video tape of disney's jungle book. didnt work, for they

are hassling some creature, they couldnt handle that. im sure this bodes
ill for these kids. spike
