You would understand why I wouldn't trust it at first.

Sorry if I sounded skeptical but you know how easy it is for people to change there name online. Now that it is confirmed I feel better. @Jack - I know that Video Games affect kids however the more and more I watch TV I see that it could be affecting kids a lot more. I think the main issue here is that all types of media affects kids, and honestly it is up to the parents to regulate this. I have seen kids who have never touched a video game in their life who get piss drunk and smoke pot to no end. I'm just saying that it seems like the "hardcore" halo kids at my school are the kids who don't end up doing bad stuff. Wow okay I didn’t see that coming.

He is basically a crazy guy who ended up getting debarred. He wasn't helping the gaming community in any way and wanted to prohibit the sales of video games. Don't take him seriously. I could just change my name to President Obama :) . He could have been a alright guy but attack video games way too much without even playing them first. Just watch the episode of Adam Sesslers Soapbox where Adam talks about him. Why would anyone work with a guy who was debarred, especially Obama? If this is actually Jack Thompson then I have a grin on my face right now. @Max – Do you know who Jack Thompson is? He is basically a crazy guy who ended up getting debarred.

But I trust you will not try to hinder the gaming community as a whole in order to stop this problem. If in your quest to stop kids from getting mature games you begin to interfere with the gaming communities right to put out a product, then I will not support that. @Jack Thompson – I am completely behind any and all propositions to prohibit the sale of mature games to kids.

I look forward to working with the Obama Administration on this problem, and I have already sent his advisors the proposed bill, which is bullet-proof as to any First Amendment challenge. The bill avoids all the alleged problems addressed in the federal court challenges to other bills I have drafted. I actually learn stuff from such rulings. Finally, if you think there is not broad support for doing something about the video game industry's fraud, then get a load of the following ad that was Romney's first ad in the Presidential campaign: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/channel-08/2007/07/romneys_ocean.html The breadth of this support explains why a recent industry poll proves that 65% of the American people want a federal law prohibiting the sale of Mature games to kids. Hooah! I'm on it, and the law will be passed.

With so many gaming companies based in the US and 50% of the market in the US there is a real possibility this will have a worldwide impact. Interesting and very relevant.

I agree having the entire government run by one party is scary, democrat or republican. they've got much larger problems than the video game industry to deal with so hopefully they'll stay out of it for the next 4 years. and not to get all political but I’m happy to say I am not to blame for this tilt in power. great article!
