Hillary, GTA, and High School Football
The LA Times is running a really worthwhile story discussing the recent attack on video games in congress. It talks about GTA, the decline in youth violence, and mentions that football actually encourages real aggression, causes real injuries, and is treated totally differently. It's worth a read. Unfortunately I'm fairly certain that very few U.S. Senators are listening over the sound of hype.
Seriously, when politicians get involved, be afraid. The issues will become more clouded. I believe Hillary is just using this to make her seem more mainstream.
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.
I moderate therefore I rule!

Don't be so sure. The gubment doesn't seem to give a rat's ass about the Constitution these days.
This is the consistent message from the Dems today. They know better. Let them handle it. Stop thinking. Stop parenting. Let the maternal federal government take care of everything.
You got any karma man? I really neeed it. Just a little hit! Come on!
Yes. Thank God for the Republicans. At least they are around to keep the government out of our personal lives!
...oh, wait....nevermind.....
LOL. Take about taking your eyes off the ball.
Given you can be recruited and in Iraq, dying for oil, at 17 its a complete joke. Only in America.

People who use the crazy straw man arguments of Ayn Rand tend to be the type of people who want an excuse to feel good about doing nothing.
Wow! You can read minds! Somebody call Penn and Teller!
Not because I like them to bow or scrape, not because I feel better than them, but because I feel like I am building a world where people help each other, a world where, if the situation were reversed I would be helped. I also feel good about not having desperate miserable people around me.
That's nice, but it has fuck-all to do with Rand or objectivism.
The irony is that Ayn Rand's philosophy is
No, the real irony is that you think it's necessary to lie about what Rand said. Either that or you failed to understand it. Regardless it's clear you don't know that the fuck you're talking about.
I am for sure going to point out how selfish, egotistical, and short sighted you are.
Oh yeah, here we go with another idiot: "I'm morally superior to anyone who doesn't believe what I believe, and I'll make sure that all you worthless bastards know it!"
There are plenty of good reasons for wanting to help others that don't revolve around being a self important prick.
But that appears to be your main motivation, at least. The fact that the hypocrisy is lost on you makes your post a comedy piece, classic slashdot style.
