I think that the larger aspects of violence in American culture are what
undergirds our fascination, current, with this latest fad. Rambo is a
good example of what gets mythic weight in contemporary am life.... pan
human motif, but particular variety of angry heroic violent working class
heros.... control through mayhem which is played out again in sega and
snes and arcades... ?!
