In your editorial about declining family values (March 25), written in response to the third incident of mass murder on schoolgrounds in five months, you say: “Our generation grew up on shows like ‘The A-Team,’ where it was common to see a man get shot.”

Though there were lots of bullets and car crashes, nobody ever died on “The A-Team.” Besides, Mr. T would “pity da fool” who wanted people to die.
