Well, other bad influences were reading Bukowski or Ginsberg too young but I mostly agree.

This is the change that has never occurred in human history. Every thread brings up that all complaints about this new media were applied to past forms of media.

I started reading Bukowski when I was around 13 or so. Many of the titles were available at the local library. I don’t think it was bad though. If anything, it was a cautionary tale of what substance abuse can lead too. And his poems were great.

Good. I like Bukowski too. At 13 I was more of a Kerouac guy. I know a girl who clearly idolizes and emulates Bukowski's lifestyle though.

My point was more that there were still ways for bad influences to reach people.
