From the Glenn Beck Newsletter 04-08-08
On Today's ProgramShock video Teens in Polk County Florida were arrested after they plotted to make a popular YouTube video by luring a friend to a house where they forced her to stay while they beat on her----for 30 minutes. The police released a three minute version of the tape and it is very, very disturbing. The girls can be heard cheering on the assailant, and at one point someone yells out 'don't break the shelves'. Even more disturbing is the mom of one of the teen girls---who seems to be defending her daughter because the victim 'shouldn't be talking trash on Myspace'. Read Glenn's comments and watch a clip of the vicious beating here or Insiders can listen here. Mark Steyn Mark wrote one of Glenn's favorite books, 'America Alone', which is now out in paperback, and he talked to Glenn today about this YouTube beating video. What is causing our kids to seek fame through the taped beating of a friend? Glenn and Mark discussed this and much more on todays radio program. Read the transcritpt here, Insiders listen to the audio here. Glenn meets Ventura Glenn had an unfortunate run in during make-up at CNN with former Governor Jesse Ventura. What started with a friendly hello turned into 'I eat people like you'. Turns out Mr. Ventura is one of those who believe the government blew up the World Trade Centers. When Glenn realized this, he reacted in the only way he knew how. Read the transcript here, Insiders listen here. McCain like Reagan?

This is interesting. Here's what came to my mind. In that new movie Expelled, (I haven't seen the film yet, but) Ben Stein makes an interesting documentary having to do with intelligent design. First, schools won't touch on intelligent design and that leaves only evolution to shape there world view. There doesn't seem to be much sanctity of life in an evolution-type existance, so beating up a classmate doesn't seem to matter much if the whole world is an accident. And maybe Darwinism is to blame for such acts. If the strongest survive, it doesn't pay to be kind. Beating up your classmates insures you will procreate and last a bit longer in this big, empty existence. To me, violence just seems like lack of imagination.
