A night of the ol' ultraviolence

I stayed up late last night watching Stanley Kubrick's 1971 masterpiece "A Clockwork Orange" on DVD. To borrow a phrase from the hooligan droogs, it was quite horrorshow ("good"), while also functioning as a literal horror show of a future of unchecked violence.
A number of questions chilled me as I watched Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his chums gulp drug-laced milk before participating in yet another night of random violence: What if novelist Anthony Burgess' premise is not so far off? Violence and sex scenes have been wildly escalating on television and films since I was a kid. What if the next generation of kids or the generation after that finally becomes emotionally immune to all of this violence? Could we someday face a society where violence is as widespread as in "A Clockwork Orange?"
Some might say we are already there, I fear.
PS -- As a side note, while watching the film I caught two references that provided band names.
1) The droogs call milk "Moloko," a name taken by a Sheffield-based dance-pop duo ("Fun for Me" and "Sing it Back").
2) Yet another Sheffield-based band, Heaven 17, took their name from a list of bands mentioned during Alex's trip to a music store.
