Indiana Tries to Pass Game Law Again

phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has posted their take on Indiana's newest attempt at passing a game law that seeks to restrict the sale of violent video games. This, despite that fact that similar legislation has a track record of failing in every state it has been proposed in. From the article: 'The state capitol, Indianapolis, was one of the first cities in the nation to try and strike out at violent video games, first going after arcades and other entertainment vendors back in 2000. The quest ended up where they all do: in front of a judge, and left for dead. Now that California, Illinois, and Michigan have all suffered astounding defeats in their attempts to address PC and console game sales, Indiana wants to join the ranks of the failures.'"

    I'd like to see Legislators prorate taxes for Gay couples. If they can't enjoy the same rights as a heterosexual married couple, don't charge them as much in taxes to offset the financial burden of not being able to get married.

    and I haven't heard a single word about this before now. Since I'm here, I feel qualified to say no one cares.
