“Quentin Tarantino has a lot to answer for.”

Great musings from Tony Long of wired.com regarding journalistic (and human) desensitization to suffering. He blames it on culture’s stylized violence that diminishes our ability to care for those we do not already know.

Long says censorship is not the answer. I agree. I wonder, though, if journalists and future journalists might use a little restraint in looking for stories that might sell but pollute our cultural puddle?
