"The tie that binds Laurier" since 1926 Is there something wrong with a society that accepts violence as a way of life so intimately that its children are spoon-fed on it? Just recently I have noticed a few small things that make me question the morals of our A Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publication society. 75 University Ave. West, Waterloo, Ont. N2L 3C5 Violence comes in many forms, some being more recognizable than others. We are used to seeing violence news doesn't go without hearing about a murder, (519) 884-2990 — Fax: (519) 884-5596 on television casts or hearing about it on the radio. A day by Advertising: (519) 884-5092 a war, a fire, or an act of terrorism. What disturbs me is the way we seem to accept violence as part of our lives.
