This is an interesting way of "reframing" the problem of young men
who "grow up too soon," most without solid family structure around
them (although Littleton would certainly prove the exception to that
generalization) In sociological terms, it really is worth of NLP.
Certainly seems worthy of that Landover Baptist Church in its logic
and thinking, too.....What with suicide rates rising alarmingly
among teenagers and smoking and drinking alcohol generally also
high among adolesccent males, this should include an awful lot of
teenage boys. Funny, it doesn't mention anxiety or stress as
leading to violence. But it does suggest that all "risk takers" may
be violent.

frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
