| | Turn Off the Violence - Letter to Governor Jesse Ventura |
 | |
Because when you hunt the ultimate foe, which is man, who can shoot back, you're the best hunter on the planet. |
 | | You need to hear yourself through other people’s ears because
through the ears of a lot of young people, your words sound “cool.” Making violence sound like sport, making violence sound like fun, or like the way normal people resolve conflict, is foolhardy if you truly care about the people you’ve been elected to govern. |
 | | And we do all need to care about each other because ultimately, the kids who grow up believing that violence is cool, exciting, or normal, may one day be sitting next to one of our kids on the bus, or dating one of our daughters, or walking behind your wife on the street. |
