Ruth Russell: Pornography, violence on TV makes society more violent

The Bee has more interesting articles than other papers on the area, but it is sad to read of so much crime these days – especially the sexual abuse and assaults taking place. I think the proliferation of pornography (in the name of free speech) is especially affecting our young people. There is also so much violence and sex on TV; it certainly affects our society.

I hope most people will be more careful in what they allow themselves and their children to be exposed to.

Ruth Russell, Manteca
