Re: The current hot topic of violence in video games.


Unfortunately, when did Governemnt, as of late, ever function using 'Common Sence'?

All stretching back to around the Clinton Era, by my reckoning, have been Adjenda Driven. Enviromental Issues, Global Warming, Gun Control, Internet, Weapons of Mass Distruction, ect., ect. Never mind if the facts were wrong, if they believed it to be true in their minds it was true and the Media (especially with Liberal-minded Presidents such as Clinton and currently Obama) tend to help promote this faulty thinking as 'Truth' by inflating the issues significantly with endless repeditive stories on the matter ('If it Bleeds, it Leads' mentality).

And example of such narrowness was reported by author Michel Chriton (The Andromina Strain, Congo, The Great Train Robbery) when he spoke out against Global Warming during a Senate sub committy chaired by senators Clinton and Feinstien who were clearly irritated with him because he 'didn't say what they wanted to hear'. The present Gun Issues also fall into this catagory with both the Media and Gun Control groups 'urging' quick action to ban Assualt Weapons and High Capasity clips, practicly drowning out the facts that the mother of the shooter spent more time with the children of Sandy Hook than with her own mentally troubled son--whom she had arranged to be sent off to an institution to care for him.

I'm afraid that until something really major happens that completely destroies this manufactured view of reality we're stuck with it.
