Yet admitting the issue is the beginning of finding solutions. <\/p>\n<p><em>Ronald Dushkin<\/em><br \/><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t agree more with Callahan that America\u2019s top health crisis is the American male.<\/p>\n<p>More important, her thoughtful insight regarding the problem\u2019s pervasiveness and potential cures is chillingly accurate, especially when you acknowledge that young males grow up and sometimes become politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Count me in to assist her and others in finding ways to a cure for the American male.<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Maslayak<\/em><br \/><em>Eatonton, Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I agree that teens are just not sufficiently developed mentally to own weapons, as they are susceptible to rash and ill-thought-out decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, we live in a culture that glorifies violence and encourages people to solve problems with a gun, instead of by other, more civilized means.<\/p>\n<p>To effortlessly slaughter so many innocent children in a school, along with their teachers, indicates a horrific disconnect from reality and humanity, which has been exacerbated by the fact that our children have been isolated from one another for the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>As members of a democracy, we all have the responsibility to help the next generation. It takes a village to raise a child.
