Ron, I haven't thought of it like that before but you certainly sum it up.  I
notice that when my son plays with children whose play centers around their
television viewing he becomes much more aggressive and focused on "hurting
and killing" things.  

When he is at home and/or plays with children who do not watch television,
his play is constructive and creative.  Their play centers around building
things, "cooking" things, taking care of the babies, creating machines to fix
things and doing art projects on their own.  

Thank you for bringing up this very important point!
