To add to my previous rant on the movie "Hell and High Water", I must also say that these types of movies encourage and foment crime. This is because the point they make is that banks, insurance companies, corporations, businesses of all stipes are all thieves so why shouldn't I steal from them?

This is a repost of a previous blog concerning the dangers of media encouraging hatred of any segment of society and bigoted assumptions about their essential evilness.

On December 4th this year we had a stunning example of what the foment of this kind of bigotry produces: the savage gunning down of Brian Thompson of UnitedHealthcare, a husband and father of two boys. His brutal assassination was for doing his job in order to support his wife and children. How dare he?
