A Delay in the Michigan Violent Games Law

TecnaDigit writes "The ESA and the VSDA have achieved a small victory in the case against Michigan Senate Bill 416. According to Game Daily Biz, Michigan Judge George Caram Steeh (who himself seems a bit skeptical of the bill) passed an injunction holding it for consideration. In other words, while the bill is under examination it won't be passed into law. Originally, the law was supposed to commence on December 1st, 2005. Though the battle for this case is far from over, it is a bit of silver lining."

Re:Politics of the Nanny State

These parental government initiatives seem to be something both Democrats and Republicans can get behind. Isn't bi-partishanship great?

I get suck a kick out of these kinds of responses, they're no less knee-jerk than the ones that press for Age Limits, Ratings and so forth.

Here's some more interesting reading:

So why don't we just drop all the age restrictions on pr0n, alcohol, smoking, marriage, etc and have a totally free and open state? Because there are people who are parents. If you don't have kids then don't even bother trying to rationalize past that point. If you have kids and are fine with the concept of a totally free and open state then try finding one in the world which isn't a complete hell-hole.

We the people should start firing some people.

Why does that make me think of the Emperor's line "It's treason, then..."

Just try it, everybody! See how far you get before being labelled a "ter'ist"
