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.

That's interesting. I live in Virginia and I'm quite happy with him. So is everybody else I know.

He has cut back a lot of programs, but that was mostly due to those programs being payoffs to other politician's friends (and those were ALWAYS way over budget). Just look at the "mixing bowl" project - that has been going on for over 12 years, with little noticeable progress, and the Virginia government just threw more and more money at it. Now, it too is making significant progress, and may actually be finished!

Look at it this way, he inherited a real mess, and is making do with the resources with which he has to work. One of the first things that Warner did was to start work on reducing the corruption in the commonwealth. If he runs for president, maybe he can do the same at the federal level. Seems to me that reducing the corruption there is even more important than in Virginia.
