Folks are always looking for a simple scapegoat. Even though the problem is much more complex. Plus we're getting lazier, we want someone else to take care of the problems. And pulling the plug on an electronic device is easier than spanking your kids, or watching them constantly. And writting a bunch of unenforceable laws is simplier than requiring more comprehensive coverage of mental health in health insurance plans, kicking up the funding to mental institutions to keep folks with mental problems in, and putting more funds in R&D to develop more effective treatments.
