Right.  Granted it's a trashy "paper", but for some years I have been

following books and articles about how people are gradually desensitized to

violence, through TV (e.g., "Breaking Bad"), video games (no cite, I don't

have any and couldn't figure out how to play them anyway) or whatever.  When

I saw this I wondered what the response to helping this man would have been

in, say, 1950.
