"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." - Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural address, 1801

Maybe Pac Man will eat her...

In what seems to be an increasingly calculated attempt to piss off every last person who ever once made the mistake of saying, "I might vote for Hillary Clinton if she ran," Gamespot is reporting that Senators Clinton, Joseph Lieberman and Dick Durbin have decided to waste taxpayer money by having the CDC investigate the effect video games have on users. That's right, instead of spending tax dollars on things like cancer, AIDS and Avian flu, the CDC, at Hill's urging, is going to see if 20 hours straight of playing Dig-Dug makes little Timmy want to dig a hole and inflate neighbors until they pop.

Because it's not like we have enough REAL issues or anything.


Basically, I'm done with Hillary. Run or not, I'm not voting for her. And it's not because I'm a gamer, it's because I'm sick and tired of politicians pulling crap like this. Instead of pounding on the issues like the gawdawful Dubai Ports deal, the fact that we are throwing money into the black hole that is Iraq, or any of a billion other real issues that have immediate and credible impact, Hillary's going for the "hot button" votes. While it would be nice if one could simply say, "Violence in children comes from playing too much Tekken 5," and then ban all video games and have a fairy tale world where the sun shines every morning as blue birds fly in through your window and sing you awake from a beautiful dream into an even more beautiful day, WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

Kids are violent and misbehaved because parents are absent and unconcerned. Then, when little Timmy does go on a murderous rampage, they blame the schools (who can't discipline him), the government (which is apparently supposed to raise him) and pretty much everyone other than their damn selves. Hillary's trying to ride on this wave of responsibility abdication and it sickens me. First the whole flag burning thing now this.

What's next, Hil? Gonna have the CDC investigate the effect of soulless, power-hunger, frigid bitches on husbands? Let me save the taxpayers some money and the CDC some time. IT RUINS BLUE DRESSES.
