- zackmorris 8y agoYa I was just thinking that the arrival of the internet around 1995 should show up as a drop in violence (by increasing connection and reducing angst for young people). Also I wonder if widespread use of marijuana and magic mushrooms in the relatively prosperous late 90s would have led to a drop in violence, like what happened during the free love era of the late 60s. Of course, coming from the Napoleon Dynamite region of southern Idaho, I could very well have no idea what I'm talking about.
