And this is Chicago ... one of the most violent and populous places on the planet.<BR/><BR/>But it's got support from the conservative side of the field, which I'm sure Blagoyo needs badly this coming election. And since there isn't anyone crying foul, there doesn't seem to be any "victim" here. Apparently if you voted against this you were promised to have your contigency bombarded with flyers but if you voted for it there's nothing. So lawmakers just voted for the least painful path, not the logical or rational one.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-1117556871907400322005-05-31T09:27:00.000-07:002005-05-31T09:27:00.000-07:00It's interesting that it's very similar to the att...It's interesting that it's very similar to the attack on comic books in the 50s, another media that was not considered an art form and was also responsible for corrupting America's youth. Comics responded with the CCA (? I think that's what it was . . .) Which made comics vanilla for 30 years, until the media became recognized as an art form and the publishers realized that Congress was not going to come get them if they threw out the CCA.<BR/><BR/>So, why don't the parents just parent? Why does the State of Illinois have to protect children from a lack of supervision?<BR/><BR/>What prompted all of this? The last few teenage killing sprees I've read about haven't even mentioned video games . . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056800816111607873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-1117556781399280452005-05-31T09:26:00.000-07:002005-05-31T09:26:00.000-07:00HRMPH.

Well, just goes to show that law makers are, still, often out-of-touch with reality, driven by impossible ideals, or desperate to look good in the light of the media...<BR/><BR/>...and in a better-safe-than-sorry move, I'm adding a violence-disclaimer to my site...<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Winkyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366129149670066064noreply@blogger.com
