from contributing to a depraved society. These are the real social pariahs. The violent movie and video game perpetrators, the weapons manufacturers, the complicit media who dont question that the US just sold almost $700 million in weapons to Israel, or drones to 60 countries. Those are the names who are profitting with no conscience and destroying our kids. Odds are many are the same individuals.
