the comment at the bottom is amazing

"Gamers have got to just quiet down," Yee said at the time. "Gamers have no credibility in this argument. This is all about their lust for violence and the industry's lust for money. This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest." 

 

Democratic California state senator Leland Yee, an outspoken critic of the video game industry, has been arrested on bribery and corruption charges. 

 

Wow.

Very Nice.

Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

Huh, his description of gamers and the gaming industry sounds and awful lot like my description of politicians and politics.

I can't believe that people elect someone who would say something like that. It's a generalization and an inaccurate one at that. 

Worship the Lord GabeN for he is your one true god!!!!
