One of them there is violent-filled entertainment.I hope they aren't talking about computer games. Everyone wants to call Quake and such games a negative influence. Grr...More moronic stats backed by only correlation.

I guess all 250 million Americans fall into that category. Who hasn't involved themselves with violent-filled entertainment...whether that me crashes in car races, watching CNN as they cover the Gulf War, or playing Quake. I just love how they've narrowed down the potential group of troublemakers to...well...gosh everybody!

I couldn't get to the link...internet connection crapped out...but I will say this: politicians love to rib on video and PC games. Doing so means they don't need to rib on violence on TV which IMO is a far greater "problem".

It's a complicated issue. Politicians want to reduce the school shooting problem to these "sound bite" thingies. Can't be done. I just hope Joe Q. Public understands that.

If Joe Q Public understood anything, we wouldn't be stuck with either Bush or Gore as our next president. As it stands, I'm guessing Joe doesn't understand jack squat.
