This generation as a whole is much more tolerant than any of the previous ones simply because of education and communication advances. The tolerance of the gaming community might be slightly higher not because of the games themselves, but because of the new medium for communication that the games provide. Food for thought. The man hit the mark. The bandwagon on this 'Video Game Violence' issue is bigger than a Ford Excursion.
People never believe politicians on issues of tax, money, laws, or so forth.
You guys are getting off easy- granted, every now and then some fool in Congress is going to come unglued at the violence in his district and blame id, or Epic, or 3D Realms, or anyone. But trust me, computer games are a passing fad in congress. I'm sure some of you are angry that the pastime that you love is under scrutiny, well join the club. And we've got a good forty years on you. Members of the NRA have been through this crap for much longer than you guys, and we've had it a lot worse.
