It's not about gun control, or violence, or gore. It's about the unbelievable stuff that Hollywood expects us to believe. But I suppose that doesn't necessarily diminish our enjoyment of such shows, or Hollywood would stop making them because we would stop watching them.

Unlike Ken, I don't remember when I realized that Westerns for adults, like those John Wayne did, were not the same as the "kid" stuff I was used to.

That's what it's about so far. But it's very close to the tangent, and I'm trying to head it off at the pass (a western metaphor).
