Okay Vod is staring to get at what I think too, but I think he forgot the biggest 'desensitizer' of all... The nightly NEWS.
When all you see every time you pick up the paper or turn on the news is all the danger we are in at all times. Terror alerts, random killings, missing persons, biological weapons... It's all you hear about all the time. We are bombarded by it. The NEWS forces people to live their lives in fear.
How can you be scared of a fictitious horror movie when we are led to believe that we live in more danger in our day to day lives?
