So, a quick story.
I was working at a private school and I had expanded the viewing library of the afterschool program so that they didn't have to be stuck watching only RugRats and Dora the Explorer. (A tough sell to the kids over the age of 5.) So, I brought in my tape of Jonny Quest. We were watching the episode where the Quest team was riding down the Amazon on a boat and the boat was set upon by Amazon alligators. (I may be in error as to these specifics.) The team sees the approaching creatures and they all grab rifles and start to shoot the alligators, Jonny and Hadji included. Well, sir... those kids were absolutely appalled. They could not handle the fact that these boys were right in there with the adults trying to defend their boat. I asked some of them what would they do if they had found themselves in that scenario... would they rise to the occasion, or would they not? (I did not word it that way.)
You don't want to know the answer I got (almost uniformly).
