None taken Dean.
Let me stress again that most of the violence and murder that occurs between
aquaintances or family members is due to the falsehoods perpetuated by
cultural influences.
We are not taught the ways of manhood by any responsible source (for the
most part), and the false expectations we are left with cause the vast
majority of bad behavior.
This is a failure of culture.
People are dying so men can be macho and otherwise dysfunctional.
